The paper presents results of the empirical research directed to definition of the terminal and instrumental values hierarchy of the 1st, 3rd and 5th study years military students. Significant differences in the instrumental values hierarchy of the different courses military students have been revealed whereas the terminal values hierarchy of the 1st and 5th courses military students are practically congruent. The terminal values hierarchy of the 3rd study year military students have appeared to be the most specific that may be stipulated by the professional identity crisis that accrues to the given period of the higher learning.
