US universities are not only great places to study, they also are great places to work. This ranking breaks down the top 100 US universities and colleges with the most international staff and faculty employed. A school with more international staff not only indicates a global and diverse culture in the classroom and on campus for students, it also suggests great employment opportunities for international students and recent graduates.
Accredited universities and colleges are also considered H-1B cap-exempt employers which means there is no limit on the number of international staff and faculty these employers can sponsor. As an international student, this is an especially important post-graduation. If your goal is to remain in the US long term and avoid the competitive H-1B lottery, consider working for an H-1B cap-exempt employer like an accredited college or university.
