USC’s Global Seal of Biliteracy is a certificate and a digital badge that USC students can earn through participating in a cultural and linguistic immersion experience, and demonstrating Functional or Working Fluency through standardized testing that covers reading, writing, listening, and speaking in a language other than English.
