Morphology
The meaning 'a structured course of study' is directly and compositionally derived from 'academic' (relating to schools/universities) + 'program' (a course or curriculum). This ADJ+N noun formation is common and cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The term academic program gives a clear picture: academic points to school learning and program means a planned list of classes, like a road map of courses you follow. That's why it means 'a structured course of study' for higher education.
