The results showed that there was a positive correlation among career identity, satisfaction in major, and adjustment to college life and students who had prior knowledge of their major showed a higher level of career identity, satisfaction in major and adjustment to college life compared to those who did not. Therefore, it is suggested that guidance on Department of Food and Nutrition should be provided to students before they decide on their major for their increased satisfaction in major, smooth adjustment to college life, and career decision.

이 연구는 학문의 복합성과 진로의 다양성을 가지고 있는 식품영양학과 학생들의 진로정체감, 전공만족도 및 대학생활적응과의 관계를 알아보고 학생의 진로지도 및 생활지도에 도움이 되고자 하였다. 수집된 자료는 IBM SPSS Statistics 22를 이용하여 척도의 신뢰도와 타당도를 검증한 후, 학생들의 특성에 따른 변수간의 차이는 독립표본 t-검정, 분산분석, 카이제곱 검정을 실시하였다. 진로정체감, 전공만족도 및 대학생활적응 간에는 모두 유의한 정의 상관관계를 보였고, 학과에 대해 사전에 알고 진학한 경우, 진로정체감, 전공만족도 및 대학생활적응에서 그렇지 않은 경우에 비해 높게 나타났다. 따라서 대학 진학 후 높은 전공만족도 및 대학생활적응과 향후 진로 결정을 위해서는 식품영양학과에 대해 학과 선택 전에 잘 알 수 있도록 사전지도가 필요함을 보여주고 있다. 이를 통하여 그동안 식품영양학과에서 시도되지 않았던 학생들의 심리적 특성 및 진로의식 파악을 통한 생활지도 및 진로지도에 대한 중요성을 인식하고 학생지도에 활용할 수 있는 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.
