Program Presentation
Software development is an industry sector worth millions of dollars a year. Its presence in daily life and business is an undeniable economic fact. Investments in software make it an undeniable strategic asset.
Any software today should be integrated with others, as it operates on multiple processes, sharing data with various functions, and will sometimes be used for unforeseen purposes which will have an economic impact.
1.1. Importance of graduate training in Integral Software Analysis and Design
There are a lot of studies in systems analysis and design, generally characterized by being formed in isolated or biased or watertight issues among the diverse dimensional analysis and designs. Having a complete picture is not commonly transmitted. This results in systems with high maintenance or utility expectations that are surpassed by everyday use.
Regarding the Integral Software Analysis and Design Program, it is a comprehensive program that addresses software modeling in its analysis and design phases, keeping in mind that the software is not a static product, but a product that evolves from conception, which transversely affects the organization one way or another.
1.2. Central concepts of the program: integral analysis and design
Software development is a well created opportunity tied to infrastructure, and an operating model made algorithmic. In this regard, the integral analysis and design, addresses analysis and design neither as tasks that are static, nor as tasks that study static subjects. Modeling tasks are also addressed pointed toward various dimensions and not losing sight that in the end, software is a living resource that should generate profits and / or savings.
Who is the programme for?
The proposed training methodology, along with the clarity, breadth and educational content design, to manage the Comprehensive Analysis and Software Design program to people from different fields interested in the study and development of organizations through software or people that have experience in software analysis tasks and design that want to acquire a comprehensive perspective. This allows people working or serving in fields such as systems analysis, functional analysis, organization and methods, computer programming, to gain a more integral software view in terms of an organizational asset, either as a product to be manufactured or as a strategic tool in organizational processes.
Diploma
Successful completion of the program will allow you to obtain the degree of Specialization in INTEGRAL SOFTWARE ANALYSIS AND DESIGN as issued by the University where you have enrolled.

Study Plan
The Integral Software Analysis and Design program is made up of:
- 1st PART: SUBJECTS
Each subject provides different perspectives on how to take an integral view of the analysis and design of software with contents that allow knowing a technology but always focus use or lateral spread to organizations, systems, technology, people, processes and business.
Relevant subjects and credits that make up this part are shown in the following table:
| 1st PART: SUBJECTS | ||
|---|---|---|
| # | SUBJECTS | CREDITS |
| 1 | Comprehensive system Analysis and Design and requirements | 4 |
| 2 | Web Technology and Engineering | 4 |
