In this study we investigated the career interest patterns of White American, African American, and Hispanic students attending a summer orientation program at a predominantly White university. A total of 77 students completed the Strong‐Campbell Interest Inventory (SCII). Responses were analyzed by gender and ethnicity. The results indicated a gender effect for the Realistic theme. There were no ethnic differences in responses; there was, however, an interaction effect for gender and ethnicity on the Artistic theme and on the two special scales of the SCII: Academic Comfort (AC) and Introversion‐Extroversion (I‐E). Implications of the findings are discussed. Este estudio investiga la distribución del interés por una carrera de estudiantes Anglo‐Americanos, Afro‐Americanos, e Hispanos que as‐isten a un programa de orientación durante el verano en una universidad que es en su mayor parte anglo‐sajona. Setenta y siete estudientes respondieron a el inventorio Strong‐Campbell Interest. Se analizaron las respuestas según género y etnia. Los resultados indicaron un efecto de genero para el Tema Realista. No había diferencias étnicas en las respuestas, a pesar de eso, había un efecto de interacción entre género y etnia en el Tema Artístico, y en las dos Escalas Especiales de SCII: Academic Confort e Introversión‐Extroversión. Se discuten las implicaciones de los resultados.
