Student Community Insights

Many students report that La Salle Bajío is the only Mexican university offering a bilingual dental program with English instruction and accredited by California, making it viable for international (especially U.S.-bound) students

Others note that outside of La Salle, most dental programs in Mexico are taught in Spanish—with very few English option exceptions even for medical schools.
La Salle Bajío’s IDS/CIRO program is by far the most established English-accessible dental school in Mexico, with real accreditation benefits for North American students.
