The interviewer would like to know that the knowledge you gained during your studies is going to be applied here, if you are hired. Most roles at USAA require at least a Bachelor's degree, however, there are a good number of roles looking for experience over education. Assure the interviewer that you have gained transferable knowledge and that you are prepared to apply that knowledge.
