Three research questions were raised and three hypotheses guided the study. Study population comprised of all the 300 level universities students (27993) in Oyo State, Nigeria. Sample size consisted of 1,858 university students using multi-stage technique. Descriptive survey research was adopted. Two self-constructed questionnaires titled: Home-related Factors and Personal Factors Questionnaire (HRDF) (r = 0.84) and Career Choice of Undergraduate Questionnaire (CCQ) (r = 0.81) were used to collect data. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results showed high level of career choice of undergraduate students (x=3.51), high level of personal factors of undergraduate students (x=3.19).There was high level of home-related factors of undergraduate students (x=3.42). There was significant influence of personal factors and home – related factors on career choice among undergraduate students in private universities (F8, 1078= 3.217; p < 0.05) and (F8, 764= 4.557 (p < 0.05) for public universities. Believes and attitude (β =.214; t = 2.128 ;( p< 0.05) ability to adapt(β =.242; t = 1.403; Significance p < 0.05), gender (β =.271; t = 1.241; Significance p < 0.05), assertiveness (β =.012; t = 1.135; Significance p <0.05), Parental Education(β = .302; t = 2.613; Significant p< 0.05), Family Income (β = .122; t = 321; Significant p < 0.05), Parental Occupation (β = .213; t = 2.108; Significant p <.0.05), Family Size (β = .033; t = 0.134; Significant p< 0.05), are significant at p>0.05 on career choice among undergraduate students. Therefore there should be improvement on the issue of personal factors in terms of believe, ability to adapt as well as assertiveness on the undergraduate students.
