    Colleges require at least a masters degree with at least 18 graduate ours in the field in which you want to teach. You probably will need a terminal degree — a doctorate — to do more than adjunct teaching unless you have some other credential — like a CPA along with your masters.

    College teachers don’t have to have any education courses at all.

    The link below is about adjunct (part-time) teaching. It lists requirements.

    As the others have said, you do not need a teaching certification. You need at least a Masters degree. A Ph.d in math is difficult and many do not have it. You need plenty of math college course work and would probably specialize in your masters such as be a statistics wiz or another area of math.

    Good luck!
