The National Debate Forum (NDF) is the founding institute of Summit Debate Enterprises, located at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, FL and Emerson College in Boston, MA. NDF provides students a premier, yet collegial learning experience in Lincoln Douglas and Public Forum Debate. NDF is proud of its national reputation, built around its low student/teacher ratio, innovative curriculum and dedication to the continued and long lasting educational growth of each of its attendees. The staff is composed of some of the finest debate educators in the nation. We strive to ensure that students leave the institute prepared to debate in any region of the country, with a strong sense of ethics and professionalism.

Choosing an institute is an important decision and should not be taken lightly! Since 1995 NDF has been the choice of thousands of students and coaches because of its dedication to individualized instruction. We pride ourselves on the fact that so many forensics programs choose NDF as their institute summer after summer.
