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.

A bachelor's degree is given to students who fulfill the necessary requirements given by the college or university they are attending. The requirements include three to seven years of focus on a subject, typically referred to as a major or concentration.
