Nontraditional programs are those programs in which one gender makes up 25% or less of the workforce.
Nontraditional programs lead to careers that are high-wage, high-demand, or high-skill. This leads to benefits such as greater job satisfaction, earning up to 30% more, greater job stability, and more opportunities for advancement.

Lending Library Program 
ATC offers a Lending Library for students enrolled in the Special Populations program, based on financial need. We have a limited number of textbooks to loan to students for the semester. In order to participate, students must fill out an enrollment form and submit a copy of their schedule for the semester. To determine the financial need of the student, we look at the estimated cost of the book purchase in relation to the available distributed financial aid receives each semester. Since students are evaluated each semester, there is no guarantee of availability for all requests.
To enroll in the Lending Library program, students should complete a Special Populations/Lending Library enrollment form and submit a copy of their Student Detail Schedule. This form can be found here or picked up in the Special Populations office located in room K-614 of the Athens Campus.
