I think a degree in Performing Arts is not just for actors, but also performing musicians and others.
Moreover, IMHO the distinction between a "licentiate" degree and others is (con perdón), "una españolada". When I moved to Spain, I soon got fed up with people telling me my BA degree was a "diploma" (diplomado) simply because it wasn't 5 years long.

Licentiate degree in Acting. **A licentiate is not equivalent to a Bachelor's degree**

In Argentina, the Licentiate degree (Spanish: Licenciatura), by which one becomes a licenciada (female) or a licenciado (male), is a four- to six-year degree.[4] It's equivalent to an M.Sc. or M.A.[5] in North American universities, or Master[5] in any country of Europe given by the Bologna Process and World Universities affiliates. Occasionally, the achievement of the "Licentiate" degree does not require the formal writing of a thesis, although almost always, some amount of research is required. The successful defense of the "Tesis de Licenciatura" automatically habilitates the candidate to apply to a Master's or Doctorate degree in a related field of science; in the past graduates were granted the Licentia Doctorandus, after the dissertation of their written thesis, this was a requirement allowing them to enter the Doctoral program equivalent to the current Ph.D. degree.

I would like to change the entry to read "Licentiate Degree in the Performing Arts" (not just "Acting").

Carola: You cannot equate a Bachelor's Degree to a Licentiate. If this is Argentina, the Licentiate degree (Spanish: Licenciatura), by which one becomes a licenciada (female) or a licenciado (male), is a four- to six-year degree.
