(1) To encourage pupils to study foreign languages;
(2) To certify attainment of biliteracy;
(3) To provide employers with a method to identify people with language and biliteracy skills;
(4) To provide universities with a method to recognize and give academic credit to applicants seeking admission; and
(5) To recognize and promote foreign language instruction in public schools.

To Qualify a student must demonstrate:

(1) Completion of all English language arts requirements for graduation with an overall grade point average of 3.0 or above in those classes.

AND 

(2) Proficiency in one or more languages other than English, demonstrated by passing a foreign language advanced placement examination with a score of 4 or higher or an international baccalaureate examination with a score of 5 or higher; provided, however, that for languages in which an advanced placement examination is not available, the Department of Education may provide a listing of equivalent summative examinations that local school systems may use in place of such an advanced placement examination.
