Need? None at all. What you need is to write and become a pest about finding people to play what you set down. Education rarely hurts, but all that is needed is the desire to write and the patience to do it. That said, getting a college education in music, with an emphasis on composition, will greatly ease the way for you if you wish to try and make a career of composing.

Having proper musical training, among many other things, saves you from making a lot of mistakes that you must work out later. The time and money spent on a college degree seems like the hard way to do it to a lot of people. It isn't. In the long run, it is the easy way.

Hello, I'm a student in library school and I was able to find this answer for you:

According to the US Department of Labor, "Composers and music directors usually require a bachelor's degree in a related field." You can find out more at www.bls.gov.

I hope this answers your question.

None really, you just need to compose music. However, to be able to do this you need extensive knowledge of music and Music Theory.
