Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, Kent State University filed 130 Labor Condition Applications covering 130 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2026. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 77.7% (101 certified of 130 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 Kent State University’s H-1B petitions range from $39,125 at the low end to $288,870 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $77,908. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Assistant Professor (39 petitions at $299,694 avg), followed by Instructor and Research Associate. 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.

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.
