A review of publications by Russian and foreign authors is presented, arguing the relevance of the research topic. We have shown the influence of successful social and professional socialization of graduates-ecologists in the system of higher agricultural education on the certainty of their life and professional trajectories. Based on the materials of an empirical study carried out by a questionnaire survey among graduate students of environmental educational programs, we concretized the ideas of young people about professional and life trajectories after graduation. A positive result of social and professional socialization of graduates of environmental programs of an agricultural university can be considered the professional certainty of more than 90% of students by the time they complete their studies at the university. The basis of goal-setting for graduates of environmental programs of agricultural universities for the next 10-20 years is: achieving material well-being and high earnings; interesting job; creating a family and raising children. More than 90% of graduates are confident in achieving their goals. According to environmental graduates, personal qualities are needed to achieve success in life (purposefulness, diligence, resourcefulness); business connections, acquaintances; patience and hard work.
