If you are looking to teach college you really don't need to get a teaching certificate. The more credentials you have in your field, the more likely you are to be hired. A PhD is almost a sure in for being hired at a university. I have a few professors who don't have teaching certificates. One professor was an archaeologist and they brought her in to teach in her field. There is a method called "publish or perish" that works as well. It's the constant struggle to get published works. It's very important in college and later on. The more published works, the better your credentials. So, as long as you have the credit, good grades, high GPA, sharp writing skills, and the commitment to more time into something, you're all set for being a professor. Check up some research on your own. Google is an amazing tool! Another was a criminal justice course and he was originally a lawyer. I'll find you some sources. Good luck!

You would be most qualified for teaching in the education college and specifically methods of business education. However, you would have sufficient core business education to teach general business courses and anything else you had 18 graduate hours of classwork in. Most of the positions I see posted in business colleges are looking for a specialist PhD and not someone for general business. This would be the marketing, economics, finance, accounting, etc. specialists. Take a look at the Chronicle of Higher Education job listings and see what different positions are asking for in teaching candidates. http://chronicle.com/search/jobs/
