This descriptive research explored the current practices on internationalization, the issues, and problems encountered, and the perceived benefits and/or opportunities in internationalization of State Universities and Colleges in Region 3. Moreover, upon the recommendation of the CHED IAS Director the study involved eleven (11) Internationalization Directors/Heads, and 110 deans 110 students. Based on the results of the study, majority of the participants have a growing interest to pursuing internationalization in terms of mobility for teaching and learning, Institutional Partnership, social engagement and governance and leadership. However, practices on promoting internationalization in terms of research collaboration should be further improved. The researcher proposed a Comprehensive Institutional Internalization Program which could help the university administrators, CHED, higher education sector and internationalization key players in advancing and promoting internationalization. They may adopt and/or adapt this program to guide them in their decision-making, and to prepare them in venturing to any internationalization program.
