How much knowledge of programming (Java, C++, etc) must I have to get an entry level job as a systems analyst?

Most systems analysts know little to nothing about programming.





That said, it would serve you well to learn VBA (Visual Basic For Applications), which will help you script Microsoft Office applications to perform better; and you will want a basic understanding of SQL.





While not needed, you will find a strong VBA background and basic SQL skills will make you much more marketable as an analyst.

None. A programmer has to have programming knowledge. That's why they call us programmers.





Analysts write memos and stuff so that the skilled programmers do not have to waste time with mundane things. Unfortunately, this also means that they have more time to go to lunch with managers and get their name all over the documents they write, so they usually get paid more.
