Social Work: APA

Research Guide for Social Work Courses at SAC

Introduction

APA (American Psychological Association) style is widely used across the social sciences and is the style expected in the SAC Social Work program. There are many resources available online and in the SAC library for students to learn and implement the APA style. Workshops on APA style are also offered each semester, and tutors are available to review individual assignments on a one-on-one basis.
