Abstracts (for APA only)

If you are enrolled at Liberty University, you have declared a degree that you are seeking while in our program.  Based on this declared degree, you will locate the documentation/formatting style of that given field to use throughout your time here.  This information is found in our classroom textbook.


If you are required to use the APA formatting style, you must include an ABSTRACT with each essay that you submit.  

The Abstract does not count toward the argument word count since it is simply summarizing what you have already said in the actual essay. However, it is still necessary for your formatting and documentation style requirements.

Please use the links below to learn more about how to set up your abstract.
