Current annual tuition and fees: 122,000 pesos ($11,210 USD)

Many publicly funded universities, such as the National Autonomous University of Mexico, charge only nominal fees. At the other end of the spectrum are a handful of prestigious private universities, such as Universidad Iberoamericana and Universidad Anáhuac. One of Mexico’s most respected--and expensive--universities is Tecnológico de Monterrey, a private university system founded in 1943 by Mexican businessmen.
