The interviewer would like to know that the knowledge you gained during your post-secondary studies is going to be applied here, if you are hired.
Assure the interviewer that you have gained transferable knowledge and that you are prepared to apply that knowledge.

"Every valuable piece of knowledge gained from my Bachelor of Business Administration Degree will be applied to my work with TIAA. My University experience was a positive one. I was able to apply myself wholeheartedly and graduate top of my class. In addition to the knowledge gained, I also developed strong organizational skills and a keen ability to multitask; additional skills that I look forward to bringing to TIAA."

Your answer shows that you're both honest and open to additional training/education if needed, which is great. Build out your answer even more by discussing any online courses/certifications and/or real-world experience you have that qualifies you for the role outside of post-secondary education. Show the interviewer that you'll excel in the position despite not having that experience. Good job!
