Policy Debate Workshops
Two Week Session

In our 2 Week Labs, students are divided into labs divided based on age, skill, and years of experience. Our 2 week programs follow the same skills-focused model and philosophy as the remaining policy debate programs in an intensive shorter session. These labs will offer students access to the highest quality instruction available to help students succeed on a regional level in varsity CX debate.

In order to provide the instruction needed the most for students who typically attend our 2 week program, lab instructors will focus a great deal on skill building and theory development rather than solely on research. While students will have access to all the workshop's files and will develop research in lab groups, the focus for these programs remains on teaching debate skills.

We believe we offer one of the finest two week sessions anywhere. Our labs are led by skilled teachers and talented competitors.

Novice Session

For beginners, UNT also offers a novice lab for students new to debate. This lab is designed for students likely to enter a program offering policy debate or for students with less than a semester of policy debate (2-3 tournaments). This program is designed to introduce students of any age to the vast world of policy debate in a way that helps students develop a life-long passion for the event.
