🎯 About General Elective at Woodmont
What does 'Elective credit' mean at Woodmont College?
Elective credit fills the elective portion of a Woodmont degree — credits required for graduation but not tied to a specific named course or general education category. Every Woodmont degree program reserves a portion of total credits for electives, which gives students flexibility to round out their program.
How many elective credits do I need for my Woodmont degree?
Woodmont's degree programs each define an elective credit minimum within the total (60 credits for the Associate, 120 for the Bachelor's). The specific count varies by program. Check Woodmont's current academic catalog for the exact elective credit requirement.
Can I use System Analysis and Design for Woodmont electives even though it's a computer science course?
Yes. UPI Study's agreement with Woodmont College lists UPI Study's System Analysis and Design as General Elective at Woodmont, whatever its subject area. The credit posts to your Woodmont transcript once UPI Study sends the official transcript.
How many UPI Study courses can I stack as electives at Woodmont?
Up to the overall 70% transfer cap (84 credits for the Bachelor's). Woodmont doesn't impose a separate elective cap beyond that, so you can stack multiple UPI Study elective courses as long as they fit within total transfer maximum and your program's elective requirement.
Is elective credit 'worth less' than named course credit?
No — credit is credit toward your Woodmont degree. Elective credits count fully toward the 60-credit Associate or 120-credit Bachelor's total. The only difference is they fill the 'elective' bucket on your transcript rather than a specific named course. They have the same weight in graduation requirements.

About this course

Understanding System Analysis and Design for your Woodmont 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

The course is self-paced and online. You work through video lessons, complete quizzes and assignments, and finish with a final exam, and each of those pieces carries weight: 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. Once you pass, the 3-credit course appears on your transcript, and Woodmont College recognizes that credit as a General Elective under its articulation agreement with UPI Study.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course covers how to turn a business need or software problem into a working system: gathering requirements, building UML, data flow, and use case diagrams, and comparing Agile, spiral, iterative, and V-shaped development methods. Those skills carry over to project work in many roles, and they fit naturally into Woodmont's BS in Technology and BS in Business, where a General Elective can count toward the credit hours those degrees require. Students in the BS in Psychology may find the structured approach to requirements and stakeholder needs useful as well.

Skills you walk away with

Gather and document system requirementsCompare SDLC methods such as Agile, spiral, and V-shaped modelsCreate UML use case and class diagramsBuild logical and physical data flow diagramsAnalyze business processes using BPM techniquesApply system design and universal design principlesEvaluate risk, security, and project planning needs

Taking this course toward Woodmont

After you complete the course, UPI Study sends your transcript to Woodmont College. Woodmont's registrar reviews it and applies the course as a General Elective, which means it counts toward your total credit hours and your elective requirements. Ask an advisor how that elective fits your specific degree plan in the BS in Technology, BS in Business, or BS in Psychology. Keep in mind that Woodmont accepts up to 84 credits (70%) in transfer, so this course counts toward that ceiling along with any other transferred credit.

Who this course is for

This course suits people who want to move through a Woodmont degree with fewer remaining courses, including adults returning to finish a degree, people changing careers into IT or operations, and students who want to keep costs down by applying credit they have already earned. Because Woodmont treats it as a General Elective, it counts toward elective requirements and total hours, but it will not satisfy a specific required course in your major, so check your degree plan first. Transfer credit is capped at 84 credits (70%) at Woodmont, so you need to plan how much of your degree you bring in this way. It is not the right choice if you need a course that is specifically required for your program, or if you are looking for hands-on programming instruction rather than analysis and design concepts.
