Individuals who hold either a Bacharel degree, a professional diploma or Licenciatura are eligible for admission into graduate courses leading to advanced master's or doctor's degrees. Criteria for admission into master's and doctor's programs vary in Brazil. Some universities cause that candidates take entrance exams; others make admission decisions based solely on undergraduate transcripts, letters of recommendation, and possibly oral interviews.
In Colombia, the combination of degrees is a droplet companion to the U.S. model. After completing their high school, Law Enforcement Degree or "bachillerato", students (called "bachilleres") can take one of two options. The first is called a "Profesional", which is in agreement to a Bachelor's Degree requiring from nine to eleven semesters of consideration according to the program chosen. The other option is called a "Técnico"; this dimension only three years of study and prepares the student for technical or mechanical labors, coinciding to the associate's extent given in the U.S.
