Career maturity is an important aspect of students’ readiness to transition from higher education to the world of work. Final-year students in Guidance and Counseling programs are expected to possess adequate career maturity because they will enter professional roles that require competence in assisting others with personal, social, academic, and career development. However, some students may still experience difficulties in understanding their potential, exploring career alternatives, making career decisions, and preparing realistic career plans. This study aims to describe the career maturity of final-year students in the Guidance and Counseling Study Program. The study employed a quantitative descriptive approach involving final-year students as research participants. Data were collected using a career maturity instrument based on the dimensions of career exploration, career planning, decision making, and preparation for the transition to work. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques to determine the level and distribution of students’ career maturity. The results showed that the career maturity of final-year students was at the (high/moderate/low) level, with variations across the measured dimensions. The findings indicate the need for systematic career guidance and counseling programs to strengthen students’ career planning, decision-making, exploration, and readiness for professional transition.
