Possibly. In order to claim any education credits or student loan interest, one of the criteria is that if you are married you would have to file a joint return. If you and your wife meet the criteria below, then yes, you can claim both an education credit and your student loan interest expense on your return as a married couple filing jointly.
In order to claim the Student Loan interest, you also must be legally obligated to pay the interest and have paid the interest. As a married couple, your MAGI must be less than $155,000 to take the full deduction and less than $185,000 to take a gradually reduced deduction.
