In 2014, WKU first introduced the Joint Undergraduate-Master’s Program (JUMP). According to the JUMP webpage, this program allows students across different departments to complete their bachelor’s and masters degree in a five-year accelerated time frame. 

According to WKU’s website about the program, the spring 2014 semester had 25 JUMP students enrolled in the program in areas such as chemistry, accounting, applied economics, organizational communication, engineering technology management and religious studies.
