As part of the English major curriculum, majors will be required to complete a hands-on learning assignment, or HLA, involving writing in one of the following contexts:

1. The Comenian (Moravian’s student newspaper): a feature article or other piece assigned by the editor(s);
2. The Moravian University Marketing and Communications Office: campus and community-wide blog post, newsletter article, press release, or other piece assigned by a member of the Marketing staff;
3. The Moravian University Theatre Company : program notes or other dramaturgical materials, as assigned by the director.
4. The Center for Career and Civic Engagement: newsletter article or other work assigned by the director.

English majors who are also pursuing certification in Education will be exempt from this requirement but are encouraged to complete HLAs as well.
