The main purpose of this study was to determine the level of career maturity in a sample of university students in one public university in Jordan. The study also sought to determine differences in career maturity based on gender and educational level. The sample of the study consisted of 284 students enrolled in social studies classes. Results of the study indicated that participants had high levels of career maturity on self-knowledge, career decision-making, and career implementation. However, participants exhibited moderate levels of career maturity on knowledge of occupations, knowledge of the world of work, and career planning. The results also showed no differences in levels of career maturity based on gender and educational level except for the career planning dimension where juniors and seniors were more mature than sophomores. Finally, this study provided several recommendations with regard to preparing university students for the work environment.
