University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School

With 62 H-1B applications on record, University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School is a mid-volume sponsor. The pattern is common at growing companies with specialty technical hiring needs or at established firms in industries with skill-supply gaps.

The 89% approval rate on 62 filings is below the national median for H-1B sponsorship. The pattern may reflect role-specific eligibility issues or filing-process challenges that better immigration counsel could address. On wages, University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School pays a meaningful premium: $88,132 average wage versus a prevailing-wage benchmark of $68,080, roughly 29% above the DOL prevailing-wage estimate for the same roles. Premium pay is one of the credible signals that the company values H-1B labor on its merits rather than as a low-cost substitute.

University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School's top H-1B role is Postdoctoral Associate ($61,654) — an academic or research role. Universities and research institutes use H-1B sponsorship differently from corporate employers; many academic H-1Bs are cap-exempt, which simplifies the filing process meaningfully. Most filings concentrate in 2 states (CA, MA), typical of companies with a primary headquarters office and a single secondary location.
