H-1B sponsorship profile: Wichita State University. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, Wichita State University filed 131 Labor Condition Applications covering 131 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2026. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 96.2% (126 certified of 131 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 Wichita State University’s H-1B petitions range from $53,040 at the low end to $170,000 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $75,416. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by NIAR Research Engineer (46 petitions at $74,907 avg), followed by NIAR Research Associate and NIAR Computational Mechanics Research Engineer. 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. Wichita State University is headquartered in WICHITA, KS under NAICS code 611310, and places H-1B workers across 1 state, most heavily in KS. 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 Wichita State University ranks. By H-1B petition volume, Wichita State University is #1,663 of 119,880 employers nationally and #8 of 654 employers headquartered in KS. 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.
