This is the format for the bibliographic information required for the abstract. The content of the abstract that follows this citation will vary according to the subject area. The abstract should be concise and informative; however, the abstract must be less than 350 words in length. In general, it should state the purpose and describe the subjects and the methodology used in the study. The abstract should also describe the findings, conclusions, and implications of the study. Students should consult their thesis director and style manual to determine the content of the abstract. The abstract must be signed by the thesis director below.

A list of key words must be included at the bottom of the abstract; however, key words and the title information do not count toward the 350 word total. Key words should be specific terms or phrases used in the thesis that would enable a person to successfully search out the content of the document if it were in a library database. The first word of each key term should be capitalized.
