When did baccalaureate theses become a thing?

I don't know if you're trying to be funny or your autocorrect is, but in Germany, when they switched from diploma to the bachelor/master system, both bachelor and master come with a theses. Many people leave with a bachelor, especially in computer science, so that might be why. Don't know about other countries

Ah, I see. They aren't standard at US Universities, though I did have to complete capstone projects for each of my BS degrees.

It's half a semester worth of credit points while the master theses is a whole semester here so it might be similar to your system
