DEBATE

The Emporia State University Debate Team is a nationally competitive policy debate program with affiliations to both the National Debate Tournament (NDT) organization and the Cross Examination Debate Association (CEDA). The team travels across the nation and competes against every other university in the country as there are no divisions in debate.

And it shows. ESU has graduated debaters who go on to become professors, attorneys, teachers, governors, and many other types of professionals.
