      abstract = {This study explores the theoretical and conceptual factors influencing Nigerian university students' choice between Islamic and conventional banking and finance. With a growing interest in ethical banking and the increasing presence of Islamic financial institutions in Nigeria, it is crucial to understand the determinants that shape students' preferences. The study synthesizes existing literature and conceptual frameworks to guide students in selecting the appropriate banking discipline. The findings highlight the role of religious beliefs, financial literacy, perceived benefits, and social influence in shaping students' academic and career decisions. The study contributes to the broader discourse on financial education and career orientation in Nigeria.},
