This study aimed to assess changes in the career self of college students, from the beginning to the end of the last year of the program.

A total of 80 undergraduate students from the University of Minho, Northwest of Portugal, who where registered for the first time in the last year of the program participated in the study. Of these, 49 were women (61.25%) and 31 were men (38.75%) with ages ranging from 21 to 45 years old (M=23.9; SD=4.31).
