N2  - Abstract:  This study aimed to investigate the impact of demographic, educational and motivational factors on the career preferences of undergraduate pharmacy students in the Philippines. A descriptive and correlational cross-sectional design was employed, utilizing an online questionnaire distributed through Google Forms. A non-probability sampling technique was used to recruit a total of 252 participants. The online questionnaire's link was disseminated in April 2022 through various channels, including mobile chat applications, social media platforms and emails to the target respondents and their respective pharmacy schools, with data collection spanning one month.  The findings revealed the top three career preferences of the participants in descending order: community pharmacy (27.22%), hospital pharmacy (24.68%), and industrial/manufacturing pharmacy (17.09%). Notably, a significant association was observed between gender and career preferences, specifically in community pharmacy (p-value = .036, Cramer's V = 0.354) and hospital pharmacy (p-value = 0.15, Cramer's V = 0.406), while no significant association was found with industrial/manufacturing pharmacy. Moreover, salary was positively associated with hospital pharmacy (p-value = 0.0004, Cramer's V = 0.0316), while scholarship (p-value = 0.033, Cramer's V = 0.324) and flexible work schedule (p-value = 0.030, Cramer's V = 0.0362) were associated with preferences for manufacturing/industrial pharmacy. These results indicate that although gender demonstrated only a moderate correlation, it emerged as the most statistically significant factors influencing the respondents' career preferences
