Usage Note
Licenciada is the feminine form of licenciado, the title given to someone who has completed a licenciatura (a university degree, historically 4–6 years in Spain). It is used both as a noun and as a respectful form of address, similar to 'Dr.' for degree holders in some Latin American countries: Licenciada García. The degree system has partly shifted to the Bologna grado, but the title persists.
Examples
"La licenciada presentó su informe ante el comité."
