using the term 'marrying down' usually refers to social and/or economic standards and imho border on the shallow. considering a man's work ethic, spirituality and demeanor first is just what is priority. everyone should consider what you mentioned as well as the socio/economic part but it seems that those that choose the latter as dealbreakers tend to forget the other stuff.

I don't know if this is considered "marrying down" but I want a husband that is loves God, loves me, hardworking, romantic, and has a sense of humor. I want someone that I can discuss anything with, from the silly (ex. is Tupac still alive?) to the serious (ex. Walmart and its effects on the global marketplace) to the person (ex. he is my best friend in life).
I've met men that met these qualifications both with a degree and without one. If I marry someone without a degree, I would not consider him to be "beneath me" because truth be told, the only difference between me and him is the grace of God.
