What was the qualifications for command of a U-Boat?

It seems that almost every US navy submarine captain not only had college degree, but had a degree from the high selective USNA, in addition to all the other experience needed. I have really failed to find any captains in the silent service that did not graduate from the USNA. What about the kriegsmarine, were they that selective for captains? Did some of the captains or most of them have college degrees? What were the general qualifications?
