Savings = semester credits × $518: Strayer's $1,555 undergraduate tuition per course (strayer.edu, 13 Oct 2026) divided by the 3 semester hours one Strayer course equals. Strayer makes the final credit award.
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, assignments, and a final exam. Grades are split evenly into four parts: 25% attendance, 25% quizzes, 25% assignments, and 25% final exam. When you complete the course with a passing grade, the resulting transcript credit is what Strayer recognizes as CIS210 – System Analysis and Design.
Systems analysis teaches you to pin down what a business or software problem actually requires before anyone starts building, and to compare approaches such as Agile, iterative, spiral, and V-shaped development. At Strayer, the credit may apply within programs such as the Associate in Arts or a Bachelor's degree, so the skills sit inside a degree plan instead of standing alone. The material carries into work involving requirements gathering, UML and data flow modeling, and project scheduling.
After you finish the course, your transcript is sent to Strayer. The registrar reviews the record and applies the credit as CIS210 – System Analysis and Design, a named course equivalency that maps to a specific catalog code. In your degree plan, this means the credit satisfies that catalog course rather than counting only as general elective hours. Strayer accepts up to 126 transfer credits toward a bachelor's degree, and the course must be completed with a grade of C or higher to be eligible.
This course suits adults who are returning to finish a Strayer degree and want a systems course that transfers as a named equivalent, not a general elective. It also makes sense for cost-conscious students who want to bring in as much credit as the 126-credit transfer limit allows. It is not a fit for anyone seeking coding instruction, since the course centers on analysis, modeling, and design, and it is less useful if your Strayer degree plan does not include CIS210.
Strayer University signed an articulation agreement with UPI Study (effective 15 June 2025). Its 2026-2027 catalog accepts credit reviewed by ACE and NCCRS, with a grade of C or higher, up to 126 quarter hours toward a bachelor's degree.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Strayer determines, in its sole discretion, which credits qualify under the agreement and its transfer credit policies.
