There are many reasons why a student or community member may need to or want to prove their language proficiency or earn a Global Seal of Biliteracy. The German program at MSU offers the opportunity to take a STAMP language proficiency test. Most languages are $37, with some $165. Some programs such as for example some Less Commonly Taught Languages (LCTLs) will also accept STAMP scores for placing out of certain language requirements with appropriate scores. Qualifying scores, when interested, will be forwarded for earning a digital LinkedIn badge from the Global Seal of Biliteracy.
