Some job postings at Progressive may require a degree, and others may list a degree as "preferred." Speak openly about your desire to further your education, especially if you hope to advance into a leadership position. If you've considered a specific degree program or certification, share that with the interviewer. This may also be an appropriate time to inquire whether Progressive offers tuition reimbursement benefits.

"I have a bachelor's degree in Business Administration and have considered completing my MBA through online coursework on the weekends and evenings. If a master's degree is required to reach particular levels with Progressive, I'm very interested in pursuing that program."

Yes, I have put a great deal of thought into returning to college to earn my bachelor’s degree. I would like to work for a company that encourages me to pursue a degree.
