| Sumario: | The need for better management indicators in Colombian higher education is an evidence of the lack of greater efficiency in internationalization processes. Public higher education institutions present difficulties while facing these challenges. This article analyses the academic cooperation as an ideal instrument for improving internationalization processes in these institutions.Our findings show abilities concentration in few public universities committing heir contributions to the economic and social development of the regions. In this regard, the internalization of these institutions is currently experiencing a state of transition between a passive and organizationally isolated model and a model about strategic understandings and dynamic and participative execution of the process. In most cases, academic cooperation is not properly assimilated. Throughout our study, we identified a significant relationship between the academic cooperation’s high levels of implementation and the calculated index of internationalization in high levels of English proficiency and internationalization.
