| Abstract/Description: | The effectiveness of undergraduate career courses has been demonstrated for a variety of variables, such as career certainty, career maturity, career decision-making skills, and reducing dysfunctional career thoughts. While such studies used the career course as an intervention, most failed to include a comparison course and were not grounded in career theory. Therefore, 152 undergraduate students enrolled in four sections of a career development course and 47 students enrolled in three sections of an undergraduate human relations course completed pre and post tests on career-related constructs. Results indicated that the career course yielded significant improvements in career development variables, such as career decision state, cognitive information processing skills, career decision-making stage, knowledge of next steps, and anxiety about current career concern, but the human relations course did not. The CIP-based career course is supported as a valid career intervention, and individuals may benefit from targeted interventions depending on their stage in the CASVE Cycle. Future research might compare different career-theory based or a-theoretical career courses on career development outcomes. | |
