The central problem of this research concerns the international experience of students and the development of intercultural competence. Due to the lack of national models, the goal is to provide a measuring instrument validated for the assessment of intercultural competence in students. This proposal is related to trends in the internationalization of the academic students as part of the globalization process. With a quantitative approach, we seek to indicate the criteria of reliability and validity for the administration of the instrument with the sample of 268 college students. Additionally, this research indicates the multivariate techniques used, adopting the technique of factor analysis and logistic regression in order to set the data analysis. These choices carried out a factor analysis in order to determine whether the six constructs proposed by the original instrument are also potentially applicable for the Brazilian reality (such extraction accounted for 41.22% of the total variability). Then exploratory analysis was performed with the aim of proposing a range of intercultural competence based on the profile of the sample of 268 Brazilian college students (obtained an extraction of 14 factors that accounted for 62.31% of the total variability of the instrument). Additionally, the results of the logistic regression revealed that the constructs of tolerance to uncertainty, self-efficacy and willingness to engage are the properties affected by the exchange experience.
