A comprehensive study of the process of undergraduates social growing up allowed the author to analyze its characteristic features. The following personal qualities specific for the student age and being a basis for social growingup were considered: professional self-determination and self-actualization, purposefulness, responsibility, personal autonomy. Professional self-determination highlights career motivation, with the intrinsic motivation of the students to professional learning being the most important one. However, our results indicate that a lot of students possess extrinsic motivation, i.e. they have pragmatic goals. Due to the economical factor of the modern life, new values and standards appear in student communities and a value system perfectly characterizes undergraduate students social growing up. The analysis of our findings about students’ value system as a characteristic feature of social growing-up makes it possible to draw a conclusion that vital values are highly significant for students while cultural and intellectual values are at the low level of the hierarchy of values. Consideration of characteristic features of undergraduates social growing-up helps to reveal the identity of this process and will be taken as a basis of determining pedagogical conditions contributing to social growing-up of undergraduate students.
