Tuition and fees
Costs vary a great deal, depending on the
program and school. Universities indicate their fees on
their Web sites. For a list of schools with links, see www.edumexico.org
The cost of Spanish language courses also varies according
to the institution, the duration and intensity of the course.
Prices range from 160 to 2000 pesos (1500 us $/1350 Euro
to 18 700 us $/16800 Euro).
For example, the Escuela Internacional http://www.escualai.com/
has a registration fee of $120, plus 35 pesos for textbooks
per level. A one-week individual course with 20 lessons
costs an additional $300; regular courses with 20 lessons
per week cost an additional $250 for 2 weeks, $375 for 3
weeks, $500 for 4 weeks; intensive courses with 30 lessons
per week cost $320 for 2 weeks, $480 for 3 weeks, $640 for
4 weeks, and $160 per week for courses lasting longer than
4 weeks.
Remember that in Mexico, higher education is reserved for
an elite few, since 40% of the population never finish secondary
education. The Mexican government is making efforts to change
this, but it has a way to go.
