I actually believe a case could be made, that a large portion of the so-called "Holiness" groups view degrees and education in it's entirety with skepticism.
True, and that skepticism can bleed over into a disrespect for the educational process as a whole. And perhaps some narcissistic competition at play. ("I'm just as smart as he is, and I don't have a degree...oh, wait...I have one NOW.")
