No. You need at least a masters degree in the field you want to teach (to teach at a community college) and a PhD or terminal degree in that field to teach at the 4-year college or university level. To get hired, you need that degree, plus teaching experience and published research in your field. It's not easy to get a job as a professor; we produce far more PhDs than we can re-hire. Every job ad gets hundreds of qualified applicants.
