The internationalization process of higher education has advanced a lot in recent years and has become a priority on institutional agendas, as a way of enabling scientific/technological advancement and crucial for Universities to appear in the international context. The activities associated with internationalization go far beyond the cross-border mobility of students, as it also encompasses curriculum development, international cooperation, staff development, among other aspects. In this scenario, this research aimed to assess international academic mobility in undergraduate courses at the Federal University of São Carlos, within the framework of the programs AUGM, Bracol, Bramex and bilateral cooperation agreements, from 2016 to 2019. The present research adopted the survey methodology and has a quantitative approach. Based on the objectives, it is descriptive. Data collection was carried out through documentary research and the application of a questionnaire. The analysis of the results was made through the Average Ranking (RM) of the Likert items within each category. Among the results of this study, it can be inferred that although the international academic mobility at UFSCar is expanding, from the weak spots detected through the questionnaire, it is possible to implement improvement actions to increase the number of academic mobility incoming and outgoing. It was also found that Latin America has developed its international academic mobility, notably through AUGM, however, it still needs to be improved, aiming to attract students from all areas of knowledge. The study also sought to offer subsidies for several institutional actions through the indicators presented. The limitations and suggestions for future studies are presented in the final considerations.
