An Editors Credentials

The short answer is that it depends.

It depends on what the person hiring the editor wants. What most clients want is someone who can do the job regardless of education.

Although I can't call one to mind, I can well imagine that there are working editors who have no degree at all.

Of course, any formal learning the editor brings to the table enhances that editor's work.
