This challenge appears as a new economy in the field of education and it moves at an accelerating pace. It prompts education leaders to make it as a priority agenda in order for students and teachers to be kept at pace with the world. Hence, this study explores the current internationalization practices of Tier 4 Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the National Capital Region (NCR). Using a descriptive-evaluative design, a content-validated, reliability-tested questionnaire was employed which is Likert type. A total of 180 administrators participated in the study. Percentage, frequency, weighted mean, chi-square, and fisher’s exact test of independence for data analysis. Findings revealed that tier 4 HEI internationalization practices are significantly associated to their level of institutional accreditation, organizational infrastructure and budget allocation.
