Compensation spread. Offered wages on Pepperdine University’s H-1B petitions range from $55,000 at the low end to $125,000 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $79,123.

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.
