In academia in the U.S., "dissertation" is reserved for the final document for a Ph.D. and is much more than a course title, just as "thesis" is more of a generic term, be it for the M.A., M.S. or Ph.D.

"project" could be used in addition to "paper" or "essay"

dis·ser·ta·tion (dsr-tshn)
n.
A lengthy, formal treatise, especially one written by a candidate for the doctoral degree at a university; a thesis.

One of my sons finished his first university degree recently, and the place he studied at had a research project that was worth 6 semester credits that he had to do once each year; finally, he had to write and defend his thesis, even though at the undergraduate level, since it was an Honors College in which he was studying. However, the terminology on the transcript for each research paper, was actually "research project"

Explanation:
Como dices que este es el nombre de un curso, tiendo a pensar que puede ser el trabajo de investigación que los estudiantes tienen que hacer en empresas, instituciones en otro lado.

Un "paper" es algo que uno entrega en algún momento de la carrera, pero no es un curso.
