<p>Hiya folks,</p>
<p>Currently, I'm a top ranked individual debater in my state, and my partner and I are a top ranked team. So I'm looking to continue competitive debate in college, and I'm wondering where to look. </p>
<p>What are the top college debate programs (Parliamentary, Policy, etc)?</p>
<p>…bump…</p>
<p>It depends on the type. In the North East Parliamentary is more common with the Ivies, Chicago, and Bates some that come to mind.</p>
<p>For policy in the East check out Rochester and the University of Vermont.</p>
<p>Most of these colleges debate teams will have home pages. If you Google college debate you will find lots of hits.</p>
<p>There are three major leagues that I know of:</p>

<p>The top teams change from year-to-year but you can usually find current results and archives, audio and video, of debates on the web. </p>
