H-1B sponsorship profile: University of the Southwest. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, University of the Southwest filed 3 Labor Condition Applications covering 3 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2025. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 100% (3 certified of 3 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 University of the Southwest’s H-1B petitions range from $38,000 at the low end to $60,000 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $45,333. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Director of Financial Aid for the College of Business (2 petitions at $38,000 avg), followed by Assistant Professor of Biology. 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.
