Savings estimate = credits × $475, DSU's undergraduate rate of $1,425 per 3-credit course (2026-2027 Academic Catalog). Under the articulation agreement DSU does not charge tuition for the UPI Study courses it recognizes as credit. Credit awards are subject to DSU's registrar review and policy.
System Analysis and Design is the study of how to understand a business or software problem, gather requirements, and plan a system that solves it. It focuses on the steps used to move from a need or idea to a working system, including analysis, modeling, design, and testing different development approaches such as Agile, spiral, iterative, and V-shaped methods.
The course is self-paced and online, built around video lessons, quizzes, an assignment, and a final exam. Your grade is weighted equally across four parts: 25% attendance, 25% quizzes, 25% assignments, and 25% final exam. Completing the course produces 3 transcript credits that Dunlap-Stone University recognizes as General Education Technology under its articulation agreement with UPI Study.
Gathering requirements, modeling processes with UML and data flow diagrams, and planning for risk and schedules are skills that appear in many office and operations roles, not only in software teams. At Dunlap-Stone, the credit counts toward General Education Technology, so it can apply within the Associate of Arts: Business Administration or the Bachelor of Business Administration. Students in the Bachelor of Arts: Psychology program can use the same credit for a general-education requirement while building a working understanding of how structured analysis is done.
After you finish, UPI Study sends your transcript to Dunlap-Stone University. The DSU registrar then applies the course as General Education Technology, a general-education equivalency that satisfies a gen-ed requirement. Review your degree plan with an advisor to confirm where the credit lands in your specific program. Transfer credit at DSU is limited to 90 credits (75%), and at the university's rate of $475 per credit, these 3 credits fall within that ceiling.
This course fits working adults and degree-finishers who need a 3-credit general-education technology course and want a practical, self-paced option. Career changers moving toward business analysis, operations, or IT roles will find the material directly relevant. Because Dunlap-Stone caps transfer credit at 90 credits (75%), students who have already used much of that allowance should confirm remaining room before enrolling. It is not the right choice if you need a course that counts toward a specific major-core requirement rather than general education, or if you are looking for hands-on programming instruction.
Dunlap-Stone University recognizes UPI Study courses for credit in its undergraduate degrees under the signed articulation agreement. Each course below has the DSU course, general education category or elective credit Appendix 1 assigns it.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Students must be enrolled at DSU in good standing and meet course and program requirements. DSU is solely responsible for how it recognizes UPI Study courses.
Enroll for $250 (or use a UPI Study subscription), finish in 28–30 days, and transfer 3 credits to Dunlap-Stone University.
