About this course

Understanding System Analysis and Design for your UAG credit.

What is System Analysis and Design?

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.

How the course teaches you

This self-paced online course uses video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with grading split evenly across Attendance, Quizzes, Assignments, and the Final Exam at 25% each. When you complete the course and send your transcript, University of Arkansas Grantham can recognize the credit as IS336 – Systems Analysis and Design, a named course equivalency in its catalog.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course builds practical skills in analysis, modeling, and planning systems, which can help you approach business or software problems more methodically. At University of Arkansas Grantham, that credit can fit into programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration, where it may support degree progress in a structured way.

Taking this course toward UAG

After you finish the course, your transcript is sent for evaluation and University of Arkansas Grantham reviews it course by course. If the coursework matches, UAG applies it as IS336 – Systems Analysis and Design, which is a named equivalency rather than a general elective. That matters because named recognition can place the credit directly into your degree plan in programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration. UAG accepts up to 90 credits, or 75% of a program, so this course can be part of a larger transfer strategy without exceeding that ceiling.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who want transfer credit that University of Arkansas Grantham recognizes as IS336 – Systems Analysis and Design, especially if they are working toward a degree and want coursework that can count course-by-course. It may also suit students who are trying to stay within UAG’s 90-credit transfer limit while building toward an associate or bachelor’s program. It is not the best choice for someone who needs a course that transfers without meeting a grade of C or better, since UAG awards equivalent credit under that condition.
