The answer will vary by state. There are also different levels of teaching licensure, each of which requires different qualifications. In Massachusetts, any college graduate who passes the written exam can be issued a provisional teaching license. But that only lasts for a few years, and to move on to the higher levels (which you need if you're making a long-term career of teaching or want the full salary) you need to get a masters degree, take specific education courses, and complete a lengthy supervised student-teaching practicum. Other states may require more or less than this. Some states require proficiency in the history of that state (I believe Illinois does).
