Lord no - most people who actually do it got started as assistants, roadies, or worked as luthiers alongside others in their places of manufacture. Just like anything, over time you gain experience and knowledge.

There are schools of music that do teach fundamentals of guitar making, maintenance and repair, but as far as a specific degree, no.

A lot of people learn on their own from books, trial and error, building their own, etc. There are some pretty good books by Guitar Player on the market about guitar maintenance and repair, and includes information on setups from guitar techs of leading Guitarists alive and dead. If you're interested, start there, and experiment with your own to see how different setups affect tone and playability.
