Who Can Compete in Debate at Southeast Missouri State University?
The Southeast Missouri State University program is open to any student interested in cultivating his or her communication skills. Past competitive experience is not expected. In addition, student win/loss records are not used to decide who will travel to tournaments. All students committed to the philosophy of NEDA (i.e. that debate should be a communicative, civil, and socially responsible activity) and willing to complete the necessary preparatory research are eligible to travel.
