H-1B sponsorship profile: Western Carolina University. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, Western Carolina University filed 16 Labor Condition Applications covering 16 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2026. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 100% (16 certified of 16 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 Western Carolina University’s H-1B petitions range from $58,500 at the low end to $111,993 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $76,661. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Assistant Professor-African History (2 petitions at $69,000 avg), followed by Professor of Biology and Associate Professor-Lighting, Sound Design & Technology. 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.
