School Overview

ATC first opened its doors in August 1973 to 450 students in 11 programs of instruction. Over the years, four major construction phases have been added to help the college keep pace with program expansion, community growth, and labor market demands. Today, more than 6,000 students attend classes offered days, evenings, and Saturdays. ATC has reached out again into our community to serve more students in Broward County by adding two additional campuses; the Atlantic Technical College – Arthur Ashe, Jr. Campus in Ft. Lauderdale and the ATC ESOL Center located on the Coconut Creek High School campus. The 20 buildings and the portables on the Main campus house classrooms, labs, offices, and support services for over 30 Certificate and Applied Technology Diploma programs, many continuing workforce education courses, and the Magnet High School. Programs are concentrated in 7 high-demand occupational clusters:

Architecture & Construction
Business Management & Administration
Health Science
Hospitality & Tourism
Information Technology
Manufacturing
Transportation, Distribution & Logistics
