The UT Tyler Debate Team competes in National Parliamentary Debate Association and National Parliamentary Tournament of Excellence events. The program uses two-person partnerships, with results contributing to national season rankings, and its department page lists the head coach as the point of contact. A separate department announcement documents the team’s earlier national results, including qualification for the NPTE and a final-round finish. Prospective debaters can email the coach through the university’s team page to ask about current membership, practices and novice opportunities.
