The child and family studies graduate degree at the University of Southern Mississippi is the newest program to be approved by NCFR as meeting the criteria for the Certified Family Life Educator (CFLE) credential.

Additionally, Warner Pacific University renewed their human development & family studies undergraduate degree as a CFLE-approved program for the next five years. In March, we also recognized three renewed school programs. Read more. 

More than 130 degree programs at university and colleges throughout the United States and Canada have been CFLE-approved by NCFR.

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.
