The human services/family studies master's program at Warner Pacific College and the human development & family studies undergraduate program at the University of Hawaii-Manoa are the newest degree programs to be approved by NCFR as meeting the criteria for the Certified Family Life Educator (CFLE) credential.

Two other previously approved schools — Miami University of Ohio and the University of Georgia — renewed their CFLE-approved status for the next five years.

The National Council on Family Relations (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.

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