Yes.
Most of these answers are treating “educated” and “intelligent” as synonymous. They are not.
The questions of whether you need a degree to be intelligent or whether a degree ensures intelligence are entirely different and the answer to both would be no.

@SW-User In the most literal sense, you are correct.
However, it IS possible to be self-educated, and in that case no degree would be attained.
In fact, it's also possible to attend a centre of learning, do a full degree course, and then not bother to sit the final exam. So you would have been educated, but not received the degree.

@Quizzical True. “Educated” means you’ve had an education. A degree is a common signifier of that education, but not the only one.
