The energy spectra and wave functions of ${}_{}{}^{17}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$ and ${}_{}{}^{17}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{N}$ are calculated using a modification of the Millener-Kurath interaction. The results are used to predict the half-life and decay modes of both the allowed and first-forbidden ${\beta }^{\mathrm{-}}$ decays of ${}_{}{}^{17}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$ as well as ${}_{}{}^{18}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$(d${,}^3$He${)}^{17}$N spectroscopic factors and electromagnetic transition rates in ${}_{}{}^{17}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{N}$.
