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]],
In 1987, when the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools demanded faculty members with master's degrees to lecture 100% of its undergraduate courses,<ref name="goodman">{{cite book|last=Cruz Limón|first=Carlos|editor=Paul S.

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>

Although some of the founding members of its faculty were prominent researchers (first rector [[León Ávalos y Vez]] had formed a National Commission on Science and served as director-general of the School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering of the [[National Polytechnic Institute]]) formal research activities at the institute did not start until 1951, when its Institute of Industrial Research was founded in close collaboration with the [[Southwest Research Institute]] of [[San Antonio,
Notwithstanding some reputable achievements, throughout most of the 20th century its research activities —normally financed independently or under private sponsorship— were rather scarce in comparison to public universities such as the [[National Autonomous University of Mexico]] or the [[National Polytechnic Institute]], whose budgets make up to 30% of the federal spending in higher education and, as such, are heavily financed by the government through the federal budget.<ref name="oppenheimer">{{cite book |last=Oppenheimer |first=Andrés |author-link=Andrés Oppenheimer |title=Cuentos chinos : el engaño de Washington, la mentira populista y la esperanza de América latina |publisher=Editorial Sudamericana |location=Buenos Aires, Argentina |year=2005 |isbn=978-0-307-34799-2 |oclc=70055929 |url=https://archive.org/details/cuentoschinos00andr |access-date=July 4, 2008 |language=es |url-access=registration }}</ref>
