While the various programs in the Administration and Supervision Program lead to certification as a principal or superintendent in New Hampshire, the state may require that the applicant for an administrative credential pass a state mandated test. The State Department of Education requires that all applicants for a credential pass the Pre-Professional Skills Test (PRAXIS I). Please contact the State Department of Education for further information regarding the state mandated test.
