Clinical Science Program

The Clinical Science Program at CSUDH offers two academic pathways: a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Clinical Science and a Post-Baccalaureate (PB) Certificate in Clinical Science. Both pathways offer options in Medical Technology and Cytotechnology.

Medical Technology is also commonly referred to as Clinical Laboratory Science (CLS) or Medical Laboratory Science (MLS).
