Some do, some don't. Generally, when an employer is qualified to interview you in your specific discipline, they can usually tell if you've been to school or if you know what you're talking about. In the case of a manager who isn't knowledgeable in your area, they tend to depend on the paperwork, i.e. validating your degree and GPA, etc.
