Abstract. College students are part of early adulthood who are in the transition from adolescence to adulthood, with an age range of 18 to 25 years, and are faced with various developmental tasks, one of which is related to career development. A fundamental component is needed in the form of career identity. Building career identity is based on two behavioral elements in the form of exploration and commitment. The Merdeka Belajar - Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program is part of the implementation of career exploration for students. However, there are still students of the Unisba MBKM program who have progressive exploration but low commitment after implementing the program. This study aims to obtain an empirical picture of career identity in MBKM program students at Unisba. Data collection was carried out online with cluster random sampling technique. The method used in this research is a descriptive study (N = 86; 24% male; 76% female) respondents. The measuring instrument used is the utrecht management of identity commitments scale of 10 items that have been adjusted into the career domain by Stringer & Kerpelman (2010) based on the dimensions of identification with commitment and exploration in depth. Research on career identity shows 27 students (31%) are in the low category, and 59 students (69%) are in the high category. In the identification with commitment dimension, 84 students (98%) were in the high category, and the exploration in-depth dimension, 79 (92%) students were in the high category. This study contributes to the literature on career identity and other contributions described.
