The Impact of a College Career Course on Students’ Career Decision States

Abstract

The college experience for many students is marked by challenges and concerns surrounding educational and career choices. These challenges and concerns may be reflected in a student’s career decision state, or the extent that one is certain, satisfied, and clear about one’s career goals. This study examines students’ career decision states at the beginning and at the end of a career course intervention. The article concludes with a discussion of the implications of the findings for further practice and research.
