Thesis Thesis is also used to describe a cumulative project for a bachelor\'s degree, and is more common at selective colleges and universities, or for those seeking admittance to graduate school or to obtain an honors academic designation. These are called \"senior projects\" or \"senior theses;\" they are generally done in the senior year near graduation after having completed other courses, the independent study period, and the internship and/or student teaching period (the completion of most of the requirements before the writing of the paper ensures adequate knowledge and aptitude for the challenge).

Bachelor\'s Vs Licenciatura Many people translate Bachelor\'s Degree as Grado o Titulo de Bachiller which is incorrect, A Bachelor\'s is equivalent to a Licenciatura but the Lic is 5 years and have a Thesis which the Bachelor\'s does not, being only four years.

If it\'s Peru... \"Cabe resaltar que en Perú, Bachiller es un grado académico que se obtiene en forma automática al terminar los estudios universitarios, pero para poder obtener la Licenciatura o El Título (BA o BS en los Estados Unidos), el estudiante con Bachiller debe presentar una Tesis o rendir un Examen con Jurado.\"
