Globalization has transformed higher education, encouraging international collaboration and academic mobility. However, Latin America and the Caribbean present very low values in global comparison: only 1.34% of enrollment performed outbound mobility and 0.83% inbound mobility in 2019 (UNESCO, 2021). The internationalization of the curriculum can impact a greater number of students, benefiting both those who are mobile and those who are not (Green & Whitsed, 2015). This research seeks to gather information about the internationalization of higher education in Chile, applying a questionnaire on curriculum internationalization strategies to representatives of international relations offices of Chilean universities. The results show the strategies most used by the participating Universities in addition to the level of internationalization of the curriculum, the academics and the management of internationalization. Finally, correlations are established between characteristics of the participating universities and the results obtained.
