H-1B sponsorship profile: Drake University. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, Drake University filed 24 Labor Condition Applications covering 24 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2026. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 100% (24 certified of 24 filed), a useful proxy for how cleanly their prevailing-wage attestations pass the Labor Department’s preliminary review before USCIS adjudication.

Compensation spread. Offered wages on Drake University’s H-1B petitions range from $48,000 at the low end to $127,459 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $75,662. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Assistant Professor of Public Relations (3 petitions at $63,333 avg), followed by Oracle Database Administrator 3 and Assistant Professor of Operations Management. H-1B salaries reported on LCAs must meet or exceed the DOL prevailing wage for the role and worksite, so the spread also tracks wage-level geography and seniority.

Geographic footprint. Drake University is headquartered in Des Moines, IA under NAICS code 611310, and places H-1B workers across 1 state, most heavily in IA. Combined, these signals give a granular view of how one employer uses the H-1B program, volume, approval cleanliness, wage posture, and where the jobs actually sit on the map.

Where Drake University ranks. By H-1B petition volume, Drake University is #8,821 of 119,880 employers nationally and #43 of 566 employers headquartered in IA. Both ranks are computed live from the same underlying petition counts, not a separate estimate.
