The interviewer asks this question for two reasons. They want to see if you have professional goals and a plan to achieve them. Setting goals to improve and grow professionally shows that you are motivated and dedicated to your career. The hiring manager also wants to see if your plans include working for Cigna. Companies invest a lot of money and time to hire and train employees, and the interviewer wants to see if your plans include working for Cigna if hired for the internship position. However, they understand this is an internship position, so they do not necessarily expect you to stay with the company after your internship.

Focus on the professional goals you have planned for the next five years and how you will achieve them. Since you are still finishing college, you want to concentrate on obtaining your degree and then look for a job in your field. Or, you may plan on pursuing higher education, working towards a master's degree. Be sure to highlight that you see yourself with the company in five years if that is your goal.

Avoid saying you have not planned that far in advance. If you do not have professional goals, the hiring manager will determine that you are not motivated and inspired to grow in your career. If you are not motivated to succeed, the hiring manager may pass you over for another candidate.
