Digital media, knowledge management, and information technology have become key target areas for language students transitioning into interdisciplinary careers. The communication, logical thinking, and creative skills cultivated in language programs are now applied to innovative digital fields, representing one way that 21st-century language departments prepare students to convert diverse competencies into industry value.
