What is APA Style?

APA is an editorial style developed by the American Psychological Association (APA). APA style provides rules and guidelines to follow which guarantee clear and consistent presentation of written material. Outlined fully in the most recent edition (7th) of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, this is the style required by most Bryant & Stratton College programs to format research papers and cite sources. The APA Publication Manual has been modified from its full version and compiled in the college's APA Style Guide.
