This page lists programs from around the world that offer advanced studies in argumentation theory (regardless of disciplinary or theoretical perspective), informal logic, and allied studies. A similar list that includes programs in Critical Thinking may be found at the AILACT website. I suppose I should make clear that though I am making a concerted effort to keep this information current, no inferences, positive or negative, should be drawn from inclusion in or exclusion from this list.
