Do Minnesota Carlson's MBA employers sponsor H-1B visas?

Does a company missing from this list never hire from Carlson?

Not necessarily. A complete list every year, covering full-time and internship employers. A company missing from the list may have hired below the school's cut-off or simply not been printed.
