Each year, the Department of Modern Languages and Cultures secures funding to offer our language majors and minors a professionally administered language proficiency exam, the STAMP test. The STAMP test helps the department gather data on the success of our students and allows us to demonstrate that our graduating majors and minors have achieved a high level of proficiency in their respective language. Furthermore, the STAMP test is a wonderful resource for our students who can use the results as concrete and professionally gathered evidence of their language proficiency. Students are expected to take the STAMP test although it is not obligatory.
