This study aimed to analyze the public policy of student mobility at undergraduate level, which took place through the Science Without Borders Program - CsF, implemented in 2011 and officially suspended in 2016. This exploratory research analyzed 20 minutes of the Superior Council and 40 minutes of the Technical Scientific Council for Higher Education of Capes, the program's managing body, published from January 2011 to May 2016, separating them in the two terms of Dilma administration. A hybrid model which combines textual and content analysis were used, having the first been carried out on Iramuteq software and revealing five classes from the Descendant Hierarchical Classification: Human Development; Private Sector; Budget and Execution; Proficiency in English; and Development of Industry and Universities. Thus, in the light of Stephen Ball's public policy cycle theory, we sought to discuss why public policy on student mobility in undergraduate courses was suspended and not reoriented or reformulated. In addition to that, it was shown a change of understanding by CAPES councils about the program as government changes to ultimately understand that, in order to develop the industry (one of the main objectives of the CSF according to the Decree that instituted it), it should focus on developing people at the basic level, not developing students at the undergraduate level, since those would be people with the training they would need to occupy the factories. The Ministry of Education even suggested prioritizing mobility actions for high school students, but this did not materialize.
