She then enrolled in Howard University in Washington, D.C., using a combination of loans and scholarships, and graduated with honors in 1935 with a major in mathematics.

1935

1939

She decided to pursue higher education and enrolled at the University of Michigan, which, unlike other universities, allowed African-Americans, getting her master's degree in mathematics in 1939.

1942

In 1942, she began teaching at Marshall, Texas's black Wiley College, while still working on her PhD research at the University of Michigan over the summers.

1947

1947-1949

In1947, she became a teaching fellow, therefore giving full-time to her research and earned her doctoral degree in mathematics in 1949.

1951-1970

She began teaching at North Carolina College (now North Carolina Central University) in Durham in 1951 and quickly rose through the ranks to become Chair of the Mathematics Department, a position she held from 1951 until 1970.

1952-1953

Her continual desire to learn led to her receiving grants and scholarships to further her education. In 1952-53, she received a Ford Foundation fellowship to study combinatorial topology at Cambridge University.

1955

'A Note on the Classical Groups,' a paper written by Marjorie on the importance of topological features and the relationships between some classical groups, was published in the American Mathematics Monthly in 1955.

1957-1974

1957

Sets, Logic, and Mathematical Thought (1957), Introduction to Linear Algebra (1959), Elementary Matrix Algebra (1969), and Algebraic Structures (1974) were the only lecture notes she wrote for this program.
