Nontraditional Career Opportunities
| Degree Programs | What is a nontraditional career? A nontraditional career is one in which there is a gender imbalance (where less than 25% of the workers are either females or males). For example, in New York State, men are less than 25% of RN’s (Registered Nurses); women are less than 25% of police officers. |

| Links for Nontraditional Students | Career choice is significantly influenced by tradition and the way we have been socialized; therefore, men and women are often unaware of the variety of alternatives that are available to them. The purpose of identifying nontraditional options is to foster interest in and access to these careers with the goal of opening up these professions to the under-represented gender. | |
