Abstract	A study was conducted to assess the impact of a career-planning course in terms of time taken to graduate, graduation rate, credit hours taken, number of course withdrawals, and cumulative GPAs. Student course participants (N = 544) were compared to a matched sample of non-course participants (N = 544) after 5 years. Results showed that the 2 groups differed with respect to hours taken to graduation and number of course withdrawals. Women participants graduated in less time than nonparticipants but had more course withdrawals. Men took longer to graduate but had fewer course withdrawals and higher GPAs. (Author).
