Anybody hired at DAL without the "preferred" 4 year degree?

I thought DAL was required and CAL was preferred, besides its all who walks your stuff in isnt it?

I don't know of an exception to the above information. But then again, I learn a lot of things I did not know.

From what I understand there are no exceptions. I know of one person that has a four year degree, but the school is not currently accredited. It was at the tine of graduation, but not now. Because of this, the person in question was not granted an interview.
So, basically, no such luck.
