Depends on what kind of professor he is. If he is an engineering technology professor, then it could be possible.

If, however, he specializes in material that is not related to engineering or applied science (which is how he appears to be presented in the game), then I would say there is no chance at all.

Archie explained that Tails' intellegence was partially a result from eating some fruit from a tree of wisdm, or something like that (not 100% sure as I don't read the comics), but that could help explain it. He also does pursue an education in the comics, although it is constantly interrupted by villans.
