| Abstract: | Our study compares two career interventions designed to enhance the career maturity of a group of Puerto Rican women in a special admissions program in a large urban college. These treatments were compared with each other and with a control group in terms of outcomes on two measures of career maturity and on locus of control. No significant differences were found between the two experimental treatments in terms of the dependent variables. However, the results of the study indicate that positive changes in career maturity and locus of control of academically and economically disadvantaged groups can be facilitated by the use of carefully designed career interventions.
