The child and family development undergraduate degree at the University of Central Missouri is the newest degree program to be approved by NCFR as meeting the criteria for the Certified Family Life Educator (CFLE) credential.

More than 120 degree programs at university and colleges throughout the United States and Canada have been approved by NCFR as meeting the criteria for the provisional CFLE credential. NCFR is pleased to report that between May and July 2017, these nine previously approved schools renewed their CFLE-approved status for the next five years: 

Anderson University
Auburn University
Indiana University of Pennsylvania
Minnesota State University–Mankato
Mississippi State University
Spring Arbor University
University of Florida
University of Nebraska - Kearney
University of Southern Mississippi

In April 2017, we also recognized several newly approved and renewed schools. Read more. 

NCFR, which administers the CFLE credential, recognizes regionally accredited schools offering undergraduate and graduate degree programs with course work that includes content covering the 10 Family Life Education content areas required for approval as a provisional CFLE. NCFR approval allows graduates of these programs the opportunity to apply for provisional CFLE certification without taking the CFLE exam.
