All essays must use Times New Roman 12pt or Verdana 10pt font, be double-spaced, have 1″ margins, and include a total word (minimum 1,000 words not including the reference page). You must use and reference 2 different high quality, academic, scholarly resources.

Students must use APA style to cite within the body of the essay as well as on the reference page at the end of the essay. Please review the CCCOnline APA Toolkit, or the APA style guide provided on the Purdue Owl Website if needed.
