Accreditation
California State University, Dominguez Hills, as a CSU campus, was first granted a two-year initial accreditation by the Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WSCUC) in 1964. Upon completion of the campus visit, CSUDH was fully accredited by the WASC Commission in 1968.
The last WSCUC Review for Reaffirmation of Accreditation was conducted in 2018, and CSUDH’s accreditation was reaffirmed for 10 years. Several CSUDH programs are also accredited by other agencies in specialized fields.
