The purpose of this article is to present the results of an investigation carried out in 2015 and 2016, which aimed to analyze the status of the issue in internationalization capabilities and strategies in the graduate programs of the University of Costa Rica (UCR) at the level of the management carried out by the program departments. The information obtained was obtained through a questionnaire sent online, which was previously studied and validated in 2015 by specialized personnel of the Decentralization of the Graduate Studies System (SEP) of the UCR. The analysis performed is descriptive. It is about presenting only a preliminary status of the issue. Qualitative observations are also carried out on some of the aspects of the research results that were most interesting to highlight. It concludes with a proposal of approach on the internationalization of the postgraduate course and with indications about the institutional policies that in the university could be formulated to improve and strengthen the capacities and management strategies, both at the level of the SEP and the directions of the different graduate programs that make up the System.
