Insurance licenses are handled on the state level.  They are called the Insurance Department.  I can tell in Pennsylvania there is no requirement for a college degree, but there may be a requirement from whatever company you are applying to write insurance through.  To study for the exam, I would check out Dearborn.  http://www.dearborn.com\nAlso talk to some local agents about their experiences with the test in your state - http://www.findlocalinsurance.com
