I may be wrong in my comment to Anton. I think "term paper" could work on the college-level, too.

Note from asker:
| This is from the Ushinsky Odessa State Teaching Institute. There are four of these classes that begin with Курсовая по. They are listed in the middle of all of the other classes. At the bottom of the page nothing is listed after "и защитал(а) дипломный проект (работу) на тему: There's no mention of a degree received, and there's no indication of what age the student was on completion. However, she did have a специальность, and the classes lasted four years. This leads me to believe this is her undergrad work. |

: I think it's "research [work] on". "Thesis" would be too large a piece of work.

: Thesis may also be a graduation paper; "курсовая работа" may only be an intermediate one.

: Agree with David, "thesis" is too large. Since "курсовая" implies independent research (in theory at least), "research paper" would work just fine, I think.

The Misha
: Thesis is a name for a graduation paper, in most cases written by doctorate students. Research paper is what college academics write (or pretend to) in order to keep their jobs.
