Spanish term

Licenciada

Spanish to English Marketing Advertising / Public Relations
Licenciada en el área de Publicidad/Marketing.

La pregunta es como traducir Licenciada en este contexto (Costa Rica) en donde este titulo equivale a un grado mayor a un Bachillerato (Bachelor's Degree) pero no es una maestria. Es un grado intermedio entre el bachillerato y la maestria.

Ideas?

Gracias

Bachelor's Degree

No señalas el destino, pero en USA el equivalente es "Bachelor's Degree" y punto. Muchos tratarán de alegar que es más elevado el título, pero el traductor no debe caer en esa trampa. No existe otro equivalente.

En USA el término "Licentiate" no es válido, aunque en inglés británico tal vez sí. "Honours degree" y "Certification/Certificate" son menos válidos aún.

Además, "Bachillerato" no es "Bachelor's Degree", es "High School" o Preparatoria.
Peer comment(s):

agree Gloria Franks : I agree, Bachillerato at least in Mexico, is the equivalent of Senior High School, the translation would be Bachelor's degree in Publicity and Marketing.

Gracias, Enigma. Or even better, "Advertising" and Marketing.
agree Domingo Trassens : Henry: I agree with your proposal. In U.S. the translation is "Bachelor's Degree". Nobody uses "Licentiate".

Gracias, Domingo.
agree patinba : Right, Henry, as the "bachillerato" in Costa Rica is a high school qualification.

Honours degree

I'm guessing, but there isn't much in the anglo-saxon speaking world between an Bachelor's degree and a Master's, unless you count honours degrees, which are (or used to be) more highly considered than an ordinary Bachelor's.

Also, in some countries, an honours degree now requires an additional year of study (in South Africa and New Zealand, for example),

or implies specialisation in certain subjects (for example, in Canada):

Certification/Certificate

Certification/Certificate in Advertising/Marketing

It's obviously not an exact equivalent, but here in the US, many institutions offer a post-graduate professional certificate in various fields, which can involve for example a year of post-graduate studies.

Costa Rica
In Costa Rica, the title is awarded to students after four to five years of study (usually between two and four more semesters with courses after the completion of the bachelor's degree). Students are also required to write a thesis in some universities, attend a graduation seminar, or develop a project in order to graduate, while some degrees involve almost the same credits are a master's degree, the level of difficulty is not the same as graduate level work. The Consejo Nacional de Rectores (Council of Rectors) defines a licentiate as lower than a master's degree but in some instances slightly higher than a bachelor's degree.

Further evidence of the difference between a master's degree and a licentiate is that the two major public universities, the National University of Costa Rica and the University of Costa Rica are phasing out faculty members with licentiate in favor of those who hold graduate degrees. Thus, in summary, a Costa Rican licentiate is higher than the Costa Rican version of a bachelor's degree but lower than a master's degree..
