About this badge

The certificate in foreign languages is a credential certifying that the student has pursued a rigorous program of study in a specific language or group of languages. It can be used for employment purposes, to boost a graduate school application, to lay a structured foundation of language skills to build upon, or to further one's knowledge and skills of a language. A certificate in a language group can be used toward graduate work or other academic pursuits.
A certificate does not specify the level of language proficiency achieved by the student. This gives students the flexibility to begin pursuing their studies at the beginner or at a higher level. A student can obtain only one certificate in a given language.
