Its growth outside the city of Monterrey began in the late-1960s, when both its [[Rector (academia)|rector]] and head of academics lobbied for expansion. A first attempt, funded a few years earlier by several businessmen from [[Mexicali]],
Aside from the CETYS experiment and the 150 hectares bought in 1951 for the agricultural program's experimental facilities in nearby [[Apodaca, Nuevo León]], no other expansion outside Monterrey was attempted until 1967, when a school of maritime studies was built in the port of [[Guaymas]],

Due to the multicampus structure of ITESM, not every campus had the academic programs necessary for their professors to earn a master's degree on-site. Therefore, ITESM opted to use satellite technology to give all undergraduate professors the opportunity to pursue a graduate degree and thereby satisfy the requirements set forth by the SACS.}}</ref> the Institute invested considerably in both [[distance learning]] and [[computer network]] technologies and training, effectively becoming, on February 1, 1989, the first university ever connected to the [[Internet]] in both [[Latin America]]<ref name="nic-mx-history"/> and the [[Spanish (language)|Spanish]]-speaking world.<ref name="rediris"/> Such efforts contributed to the creation of its former ''Virtual University'' a few years later and allowed it to become the first [[.mx|country-code top level domain]] registry in Mexico; first by itself from 1989 to 1995, and then as a major shareholder of ''NIC Mexico'', the current national registry.<ref name="iana">{{cite web|url=https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/mx.html|title=Delegation Record for .MX|publisher=[[Internet Assigned Numbers Authority]]|access-date=July 6, 2008}}</ref>
