This presentation will briefly describe the current situation of the higher education system in Mexico. Then it focus on the Universidad Autónoma de Baja California, providing a review of the evolution of student mobility and academic exchange, with particular emphasis on the Faculty of Administrative Sciences. The key elements for student and academic mobility which promote local economic development will be identified, including the formation of working and research networks and the acquisition of cutting edge know-how which can be applied locally. In addition, the administration of a questionnaire to students and professors who have had recent national and international mobility experiences provides interesting results in terms of the principal factors which influenced their decisions when they were electing a destination institution, and whether the knowledge or experience they acquired has been incorporated into their teaching and learning processes.
