It does mean that, but at a high school level if you take Advanced Higher English you write a dissertation. Basically just a 5000 word essay where you look at two or three books of your choice in more depth than an average essay. No where near on the same level as a PhD, but they call it a dissertation and it's worth 40% of my grade.
Also, of course we rule!
