The Maverick forensics team is a nationally-competitive speech program that challenges students to think critically, analyze research, and polish their public speaking abilities. Students collaborate with peers and coaches to write effective oratory, select compelling literature, and sharpen extemporaneous and impromptu speaking skills. The team travels to numerous colleges and universities nationwide to compete in a variety of speaking events. As members on the forensics team, students build social connections and excel as valued members of cohesive team.
While the forensics program is housed in the College of Communication, Fine Arts and Media, it serves all university students. Current forensics competitors have a range of academic majors, including theater, communication studies, computer science, mathematics, political science, business, and education.
Regardless of major, experience, or expertise, Mav Forensics welcomes all students to become part of this unique, academically-centered activity. We are committed to enhancing diversity within our program, the School of Communication, and the College of Communication, Fine Arts & Media.
