In Brazilian academia, the thesis committee (banca de tese) is a formal and important part of graduate programs. Students typically defend their work before this committee, which is a significant milestone in completing a master's or doctoral degree. The committee usually consists of the thesis advisor and external examiners from the same or different institutions. In the USA, similar structures exist but may be called dissertation committees or advisory committees depending on the institution and stage of study.
