Prior research on cohort-based graduate programs reported positive experiences from both students and faculty. Themes such as cohesiveness, peer support, and the development of professional relationships were common among participants’ responses. The current study focuses on feedback obtained from 180 graduate students who completed a cohort-style/weekend-based master’s program in criminal justice administration (MACJA) at the University of South Florida in Tampa. Since the MACJA program’s 2006 inception, entry and exit surveys have been administered to the students to evaluate the program environment and learning outcomes. The results of these questionnaires will be examined in the context of the cohort-based design, and sample responses of open-ended items will be discussed
