This article presents a description of the development experience of the Limón Campus, now the Caribbean Campus, in the period 2002-2010. It constitutes the systematization of an experience of regionalization of higher education in Costa Rica with a quantitative approach. Documents from the pre-, post-, and during the indicated period were reviewed. The results show in figures the transformation given in the study period. As a conclusion the author found that regardless of the qualitative and quantitative leap in this academic unit at the stage, challenges remain. Furthermore, all the progress mentioned has been insufficient to meet the needs that are growing every day in the region.

Palavras-chave : Limón; Costa Rica; higher education; decentralized education; priority education region - Caribbean Campus.
