Bioscience studies focus on explaining biological processes through the application of biology, chemistry, and physics. Courses may focus on plants, animals, or humans and prepare students for specialized studies in medicine, ecology, microbiology, and other fields related to living organisms.

An associate of applied science is a program of study that prepared students for entry level position in a wide variety of fields. Students who enter this program typically have the goal of beginning to work immediately upon graduation instead of pursuing further study.
