Welcome to the North Dakota Governor's School program in English Studies.

During your six-week stay, you will gain an intensive overview of the many disciplines within English Studies, including some cutting-edge electronic and Web explorations. You will work intensively on a project of your choosing, produce and publish in your own online magazines, and complete a final Portfolio for later use in your life.

And: you will have what we hope will be a challenging, inspirational, and uncommon experience in English.
