Towson was the national debate champ in 2014.

This is where debate can be confusing. There are many formats, many different national championships, and even a world championships, which most people in the US wouldn't recognize as meaning anything. Most posters are listing schools in NDT, which is policy debate. Towson won in CEDA, which used to be values debate, but became policy debate too. Lots of top academic colleges have student-run parliamentary debate, which is really more like after-dinner humorous extemporaneous debate involving little to no prep, through APDA, but that won't get you any admissions bump.

huh? some schools care about fencers, some car about cellists .. colleges with strong debate programs care about debate. it's really only a boost for the top 20 in the nation. then again, any kid who is top 20 of anything will have a boost


Why do colleges have debate teams? What is the point? Didn’t realize this went beyond high school.


why do some colleges have squash teams?
