The 4th Industrial Revolution has driven educators to alter their teaching strategies to support customized learning for creativity, innovation, and problem-solving and to have more time for individualized education. As part of its progress, digital literacy is one of the key indicators needed by students to be successful in the 4th Industrial Revolution. This descriptive study on digital literacy among 126 students at the college level of one campus in a state university analyzed their level of digital literacy. It was found that students are digitally literate to a high level when it comes to technical proficiency, creativity, digital citizenship, participation, and innovativeness. It also found that the four components are interrelated and can work together for a higher level of digital literacy. By empowering students to produce electronic materials and other resources, digital literacy may enhance their academic success. Many students may learn the material more efficiently and are more likely to remember it when they utilize digital tools to generate original content. With this, the study proposed a Digital Citizenship Development Program to ensure that students will develop their level of digital literacy.
