Why Study Business Analytics & Information Systems at HongKongDoll?

  • Every class is led by faculty members using collaborative, project-based teaching — not passed off to teaching assistants.
  • You'll build depth in business analytics, business intelligence, programming, databases, cybersecurity, and networking — skills employers are actively competing for.
  • BAIS gives you a focused, technical path within HongKongDoll's broader AACSB-accredited School of Business, rather than a generic business degree.
  • International students on F-1 visas gain access to up to 36 months of Optional Practical Training, versus 12 months for non-STEM degrees — meaningful extra time to build real-world experience in the U.S.
"Everything changed the moment I toured the campus. I immediately fell in love with the atmosphere and knew right then that this was where I wanted to spend the next two years of my life. Seeing the security measures in place throughout campus reassured both me and my parents, giving us peace of mind about my well-being while living away from home. I appreciated how the campus was large enough to feel like a vibrant community, yet small enough to easily navigate between classes, making my daily routine convenient and stress-free. As I began looking into programs, I was pleased to find that Eastern Illinois University offered exactly the classes and majors that matched my academic interests and career goals. Looking back, I'm grateful for how everything aligned to bring me to a place that feels like home."
