Bachelor's degree

====Costa Rica, El Salvador and Venezuela====
{{See also|Education in Costa Rica|Education in El Salvador|Education in Venezuela}}

In these countries, there are two titles that should not be confused:

# High school students who pass their ''{{lang|es|bachillerato}}'' or high school exams obtain a certificate of ''{{lang|es|Bachiller de Educación Secundaria}} (not the same as a 'Bachelor' for higher education degrees)'', which is needed in order to enter a university and is usually requested by companies in their profiles.
# University students obtain an American equivalent bachelor's degree in their respective fields after completing four years of education, and a ''licenciatura'' licentiate degree completing one more year of studies (and meeting other requisites unique to each institution, it is common to write a dissertation on the professional field), this enables them to work as professionals in their chosen areas; for example, a ''{{lang|es|Profesor en Enseñanza Secundaria}}'' ("Licentiate degree in secondary education") enables a person to work as a high school teacher. Currently, the trend is for universities not to offer a bachelor's degree and to offer instead a [[Licentiate (degree)|licentiate]]'s or "{{lang|es|ingeniero}}"  degree after five years of education.
