All I know is that I've seen some jobs that require degrees, but for the ones that don't, experience in the industry matters more.
As someone finishing a 3d program, what I did was get special permission to take units outside my curriculum in another major (Game Design) and have them credited to my degree. If you're already on your third year I'd say just go for the last year, IMO it helps when your job options may be limited (right now we're seeing a lot of instability and layoffs in the game and film industry, and people have been looking to do work for other things like children's books, etc). I guess more experienced artists can chime in on this.
