Abstract
Internationalization has been a global phenomenon in pedagogy today as it opens a wide range of opportunities from education to employment. International boundaries are not an issue anymore in acquiring highquality education utilizing contemporary technology. Anyone from any point in the world can study and be professional in their chosen field. International institutions offer programs to their students to boost their personal growth, develop global competencies, and build global networks. The policies, standards, and guidelines implemented by the government agencies, and the higher education institutions must demonstrate that they can implement an internationalization program and promote the Philippines’' reputation for providing quality instruction. Building, laboratory facilities, library, equipment, and learning management system as required to acquire government recognition are the relevant factors that the institutions must review to ensure their overall preparedness in offering foreign programs. This study aimed to provide West Bay College with recommendations for successful implementation using the data and information gathered from the survey and analysis and will help decision-makers at higher education institutions improve their internationalization plans, strategies, and processes to extend their global competitiveness.
