As others have said it is not a requirement, but in my experience I have an easier time talking about programming (and software engineering in general) with people who have a CS degree from a relevant college (at least where I live, there are colleges that offer a CS degree but the quality is sub-par to say the least).
This is because during the studies you learn a certain "dictionary" and a certain way of thinking that I believe is very hard to learn by yourself. That being said, I know several great developers who either dropped out of college or did not attend at all.
