The human services undergraduate program at Johnson University is the newest program to meet the criteria for the Certified Family Life Educator (CFLE) credential. This program is offered at its main campus in Knoxville, Tennessee, and also at its campus in Kissimmee, Florida. 

Additionally, two CFLE-approved programs have recently renewed their status for an additional five year period: the human development and family studies undergraduate program at the University of Nevada, Reno, and the family and consumer sciences graduate program at Western Michigan University. 

In December 2018, NCFR reported that the family life graduate program at Concordia University–Wisconsin also became CFLE-approved for the first time, and an additional five programs were recently renewed as a CFLE-approved program for five years.

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.
