About

The Rowan Experience

Open Close

The Certiï¬cate of Advanced Graduate Study (CAGS) in Principal Preparation meets the requirements speciï¬ed by the state of New Jersey, including a 300-hour internship. Our part-time, online accelerated format provides working professionals the flexibility they need to advance their educational career. Our program is tailored for candidates who have already earned a master's degree and a supervisor certiï¬cate, have ï¬ve years of full-time experience, and wish to serve as a principal in public schools.

The New Jersey Department of Education (NJ DOE), not Rowan University, grants certiï¬cations based on requirements set by the state. While coursework for this program meets the academic requirements for NJ DOE certiï¬cation, it is the student's responsibility to meet all other certification requirements. For current NJ DOE licensure information, click here.

Per the New Jersey Department of Education (NJ DOE), "Educational services certificates are issued to support service personnel [in school districts], i.e. school social worker, school psychologist, learning disabilities teacher-consultant, student assistance coordinator, etc.)." For NJ DOE Educational Services Certificate information and definitions, go to the New Jersey Department of Education licensure website for Educational Services Personnel.

Teachers in the state of New Jersey may apply to the Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in Principal Preparation program through the New Jersey Teacher Outreach Program (NJTOP®). For more information about NJTOP, click here.
