H-1B sponsorship profile: Mississippi State University. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, Mississippi State University filed 236 Labor Condition Applications covering 236 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2026. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 94.5% (223 certified of 236 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 Mississippi State University’s H-1B petitions range from $41,309 at the low end to $190,000 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $79,055. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Assistant Professor (96 petitions at $87,992 avg), followed by Postdoctoral Associate and Assistant Research Professor. 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. Mississippi State University is headquartered in MISSISSIPPI STATE, MS under NAICS code 611310, and places H-1B workers across 3 states, most heavily in MS, VA, WI. 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 Mississippi State University ranks. By H-1B petition volume, Mississippi State University is #852 of 119,880 employers nationally and #2 of 234 employers headquartered in MS. The gap between the two is the point: a mid-size national sponsor can still be a top-10 name in its own state's H-1B market.
