gender,home locations and parental education level and whether they are student cadres or single children or not.The significant differences are in professions,grades and ethnic groups.The differences mainly show in the factor of existential value,which the score of art students is higher than the science students.In the three factors and the general level of life values,there are significant differences among the college students in different grades and different nationalities.Specifically,the score of the freshmen and juniors is higher than the sophomores and seniors,and the score of the Uighur and Tibetan students is higher than the Han and other ethnic minorities.2.The professional commitment of students who are in university for nationalities is in the medium level.There is no significant difference in gender,home locations and mothers' education level and whether they are student cadres or single children or not.There are significant differences in grades,ethnic groups and father 's educational level.The differences mainly show in all the factors and the general level of professional commitment,the score of the freshmen is higher than other grades;in the factor of ideal

evaluation factor is significant.With the increase of grade,there is a rapid decline at first and then a slow rise in the development of the future education orientation factor and the total score of the future orientation.The score of freshmen is significantly higher than other grades,while the score of sophomores is lower than other grades.In the factor of future career orientation,the score of the Uighur students is higher than the students of other nationalities and the differences of exploratory and input factor is significant.In the factor of future career orientation,there is a

can be drawn:there are significant and positive correlations between the three factors of life values,the four factors of professional commitment and the three factors of future orientation;the life values and the professional commitment of the college students are important to predict its future orientation,which can predict 43.4%variance in the future orientation;the target value factor from the college students' life values,and the three factors of emotional commitment,normative commitment and ideal commitment from the college students' professional commitment can explain the 45.3%variance of future orientation.The college students' professional commitment plays a partial mediation role between their life values and future orientation.Finally,specific education suggestions on the life values,professional commitment and future orientation of the college students were given.We should raise the level of life values,professional commitment of college students.We should pay
