Executive Cohort Program

The Department of Legal Studies now offers the Executive Cohort Program (ECP) which is a graduate program specifically designed for professional/practitioners in the field of criminal justice, military, and homeland security who desire to earn an advanced degree. The ECP meets for three sessions during a calendar year. A session consists of a two-week intensive classroom training where a graduate student can earn six hours of graduate credit. An ECP student must earn thirty hours of classroom credit in addition to six hours of thesis or practicum for a total of thirty-six hours.

The ECP is offered at the University of Mississippi Southaven campus in January, May and August. Our ECP students come from many government agencies such as: state police entities, federal law enforcement, U.S. military, local police departments and Sheriffs’ offices.
