Based on the U. S. Department of Labor
https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/nurse-anesthetists-nurse-midwives-and-nurse-practitioners.htm
The American Midwifery Certification Board offers the Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM). Individuals with this designation must recertify via the Certificate Maintenance Program.
There are several different certifications for nurse practitioners, including those available from the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Certification Board (AANPCB), the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), and the Pediatric Nursing Certification Board (PNCB). Each of these certifications requires periodic renewal.

You can refer directly to the American College of Nurse-Midwives website for a list of accredited schools.
American College of Nurse-Midwives – Accreditation Commission for Midwifery Education:
https://portal.midwife.org/education/accredited-programs
Please look at the full names of the colleges as colleges with similar names can be located in the same state but have different nursing specialty programs. For example, the University of California at San Francisco has a midwifery program yet the University of Los Angeles has different nursing specialty programs. We have the same situation in New York where some State University of New York (SUNY) schools have midwifery programs and others have different nursing specialty programs.
All the best in your search.
