It depends a lot on the company and location/country.

In my job market (Atlanta, GA US), it has increased a lot as a requirement over the past few years. It's become routine for resume parsing algorithms to screen out applicants who don't have a narrow selection of degrees.

Is it fair? I mean let's take system administration for example... Will a drop out who devoted himself to online courses and practicing have more exp or a graduate who has only theoretical knowledge and no actual practical exp ?
