No; the only requirement is that you be a citizen at least 25 years old, who is a resident of your state. Bear in mind that when the Constitution was approved in 1787, a college degree was a pretty rare thing. Of course, back then, education actually MEANT something. College today is a joke, a waste of time and money. Even in 1960, a high school diploma was a better proof of education than a masters degree is today.
Constitution, Article 1, Section. 2.
