The purpose of this systematic review was to identify whether a relationship exists between college curricula and the expectations of those who hire college graduates. Forty-three studies published from 2010-2020 in international peer-reviewed journals were reviewed using a systematic review methodology. A literature review regarding the relationship between college curricula, college graduates, and hirers of college graduates is summarized as it relates to each group of stakeholders. The systematically collected studies were analyzed and synthesized based on research methods, issues, and recommendations to help answer this dissertation's research question. Two theories were used to underpin this dissertation, the human capital theory and the competence-based theory of the firm. It was found that there is a gap in the perceptions and expectations of stakeholders. This dissertation provides the stakeholders a guide to management recommendations regarding the gap found between the expectations of key stakeholders. This research is valuable for all three stakeholders involved to enhance and improve college curricula, the employability of college graduates, and the relationship of college level educators and industry leaders. This research is unique in that it does not specify one industry but is comprehensive in its effort to analyze the data found.
