Forensics and debate

We have a long history of success in our forensics and debate programs at Bethel. In fact, Bethel is one of only seven schools in the nation to qualify for the American Forensics Association National Individual Events Tournament each year since its inception in 1977. And our parliamentary debate teams have consistently earned national raking in season sweepstakes and advancement to elimination rounds at the national tournament. Another plus is that we fully fund travel and competition expenses for our forensics and debate teams.
