Article I, Section 3 of the Constitution sets forth three qualifications for senators: each senator must be at least 30 years old, must have been a citizen of the United States for at least the past nine years, and must be (at the time of the election) an inhabitant of the state he or she seeks to represent. The age and citizenship qualifications for senators are more stringent than those for representatives.

Hardly any. There is an age requirement of 30 years old, and you must be a U.S. citizen for at least 9 years.
That's it. That gets you elected to the Senate.
If you want to join the House, the standards are even lower. 25 years old and a citizen for 7 years.
No crimminal background check. In other words, it's easier to be in the Senate than it is to be a cop.

If this is homework, make sure that you have a good source. Many teachers are not keen on students using wikipedia.... For questions on government or politics, answers can often be found by going directly to the government website, in this case

Same answer as for your House of representatives question.
Why don't you do your own homework? For the same amount of effort it took you to post the question here you could have googled it and read all about the qualifications.

There is no checklist of qualifications (education, experience, etc.). To become a senator, you simply have to get more votes than your opponent.
