Does anyone know English speaking Universities in Mexico?
Yes alot of people know
Are there any good universities in Mexico with instruction in English?
Well, since the national language is spanish and universities are largely focused on being available to their students, i’d say no. That is if the question is about beginning-to-end studies. It is possible to try and catch some seminar or conference in english but seems to me that the best idea is to learn the language of the country rather than expect it to adapt to oneself. Say, there are good universities with instruction in english on England.

What would happen if Mexico started to speak English? Would it be better for Mexico?
I do not feel that education is deficient in Mexico at all. Education is mandatory through secondary school. Most children begin learning English in secondary school and many begin learning it in Primary school. There are a number of good private English schools in the country, and those involved in tourism, medicine, and other fields must learn English to graduate university. It is a struggle to get good English teachers for the public school system, as there is not a Native English instructional department which includes teachers from the US, Canada, or England, or even Australia - but they do have good school books in English and great private schools, plus there are many online courses that will teach you English with live online teachers at costs of about $1,000 to learn. Now, will Mexico speak English as a primary language? Unlikely. Spanish has been forced on them instead of their original native tongues for nearly 600 years, and is the native birth tongue. Mexico will not speak English as a native language - because it never was their native language, it never will be their native language, it’s always be the second language. And, if Americans were kinder to Mexicans - the Mexicans might even be motivated to speak it more. Language certainly is a barrier to better relationships and communications, but it was never the intention of Mexico to have the barrier, and they didn’t create it. The inter-country relationship suffers due to language, the US has great relationship with Canada, English, Australia, all former British held countries, and others. But, I don’t know many Americans would volunteer to come to Mexico to teach English, let alone even qualify to teach in Mexican schools. And, they certainly wouldn’t come here to teach for the wages paid to teacher in Mexico. Teachers aren’t paid well at all. The problems are many, but they are trying to improve their grasp of the English language - and are trying to learn more every day by listening to American Music, watching American Movies, and cursing like Americans.
Considering going to a university in Mexico for college...?
Hi, Why are you considering attending college in Mexico?? Besides the change you're talking about? I don't see any good reason why you should come down here, besides tourism. I mean, you're very welcome to do so, but I think it's better over there in the US. I'm mexican and I can tell you that if you attend college here, you'll have more problems than you can expect. Awful, awful traffic, smog, too many people, bad public transportation service, insecurity... no, no, no... BTW, the Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM) is one of the best private University College schools in Mexico. There are 3 other schools very prestigious like the Universidad Iberoamericana, IPADE Business School and Universidad La Salle. Good luck!
Is it indispensable for international students in California to learn Spanish?
No, it’s nothing like indispensable.English is the language of mainstream daily life in California. There are no Spanish-language universities. If you go to a chain fast-food restaurant (for example, or chain store) even in a city that is overwhelmingly Latino, the expectation (and reality) is that you will be greeted and assisted in English. (Will employees who know Spanish switch to Spanish if you speak it to them? Yes, that’s true too.)Street signs with words on them are in English only. California public schools educate students in English, and get non-speakers up to speed in English as quickly as possible (at least in theory).It’s not even close to the case that all Latinos in California speak Spanish well or at all. It’s not done to assume that someone who “looks Mexican” can speak Spanish.In other words, no, it’s not indispensable. It’s nothing like the situation of going to a university in rural Quebec, where I’d say knowing French is pretty much indispensable.Is it helpful to learn Spanish if you live in California? Of course. It’s a good language to know. If you go to a family-run Mexican restaurant in, let’s say, Huntington Park, Spanish is likely the preferred language and you could (might) have trouble being fully understood using English only. But that is wholly situational; knowing Spanish while attending a university in California is not anything close to indispensable.See also I'm moving to Southern California. Is it worth learning Spanish? for some great answers.Edited to add a photo: Via Google Maps, here’s a typical all-in-English city street sign in aforementioned Huntington Park, California, a city that is 97% Hispanic/Latino in which over 90% of the residents speak Spanish as a first language (90% is actually a figure from 2000; it’s possibly higher today, or maybe just a little lower — at any rate, it’s very high). If you can find your way without knowing Spanish there, and if there’s an underlying expectation of de facto “official” English even there, then the rest of California is even more English-friendly.
