Graduates of each program are eligible for the certification examination of the American Society of Clinical Pathology (ASCP) Board of Certification (BOC), and for licensure by the California State Department of Health.

CSU Dominguez Hills offers one of the few four-year curricula culminating with the BS degree in Clinical Science with eligibility to take the professional certifying examinations and California State Licensure. Programs at many other institutions are not accredited and require five or more years to complete.

For those who have a clinical or related science undergraduate degree, but do not have the appropriate clinical training/internship, the Post Baccalaureate Certificate Program in Medical Technology or Cytotechnology provides an academic and clinical route to professional certification and California state licensure.
