The mission of the English Department at NDSU is to inspire an appreciation for the English language and its literatures, and to cultivate its effective use in creative expression and day-to-day life. We offer two minors (Literary Studies and Writing Studies), a BA and BS degree in English, a BA and BS in English Education (in cooperation with the School of Education), and an MA in English.

Over the course of her career, Dr. Muriel Brown has received awards honoring her teaching (Vogel Teaching Award), scholarship (Phi Kappa Phi), and service (AHSS Outstanding Service Award). The 2009 Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences Outstanding Educator Award recognizes her excellence in all three areas.
She exemplifies the kind of outstanding teacher who has offered service to the university, discipline and college, as well an ongoing research engagement. Looking at the sweep of Dr. Brown's career, one can see clearly the connections between teaching, scholarship, and service. She has taught the widest range of classes with distinction, has incorporated her scholarship into that central mission of the university, and has served the department, college, and university with intelligent leadership and quiet humor. It is the sum total of this sweep that makes Dr. Muriel Brown the 2009 Outstanding Educator for AHSS.
