In order to become an assistant professor, leading to the position of full professor, at a 4-year university or college, one must obtain a PhD (or the highest degree in one's field). A master's degree may be obtained en route to the PhD, although this varies by degree program. The average time to receive a PhD is 4-8 years, depending on the field, degree program, and individual circumstances. Also note that university professors are typically involved in research as well as teaching, and during a PhD program, research is often emphasized as part of the standard curriculum.
Most two year colleges require only a master's degree in order to teach, although individuals with a PhD may be preferred. These schools typically focus solely on teaching, not research.

∙ 13y ago'Professor' is a job title. Practice may vary, but I'd assume that the appointees can select whoever they think most fitted.
Usually this would mean someone who had got the highest level degree in their own system and also done some more junior jobs, or maybe a less important professorship.
The various top-level degrees have different names, significance and standing in various systems around the globe.
