Abstract

In recent decades internationalization is a driver of institutional changes in higher education. Even prior to this current era of globalization, with its pressure as an external influence, selected higher education institutions in Mexico had internal motivations to pursue international accreditation since 1950s. This institutional change in Mexico may be described as an isomorphism - normative associated with professionalization or mimetic as a response to uncertainty (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983). The research presents three case studies for qualitative analysis: Tecnologico de Monterrey (Tec or the Tech) (ITESM), Universidad de las America Puebla (UDLAP), and Centro de Ensenanza Tecnica Y Superior (CETYS), in order of U.S. accreditation. Primarily, the research addresses "why does institutional change take place," identifying internal institutional motivations and external competitiveness related to globalization as explanations. Conclusion. The research presents the multi-level governance context of global, national, and institutional levels of influence for these private universities in Mexico. Additionally, the research addresses themes of educational quality, international academic recognition, and regional integration in North America
