The Wildlife Law Enforcement Club at Mississippi State is the first student organization permitted to join a national professional organization.

Established at the university just two years ago, the club recently was inducted into full membership of the North American Wildlife Enforcement Officers Association. The 22-member organization works to promote professionalism and provides social and professional interaction among MSU students preparing for this career field.

Mississippi State is one of only four American universities offering a bachelor's degree curriculum in wildlife law enforcement, one of four career options in the department of wildlife and fisheries.
