Duke University: Bachelor of Science, 1928; Master of Science, 1929. Stanford University: Ph.D. 1932.
From 1931 to 1934, Carpenter conducted field research on the natural behavior of primates under the sponsorship of a professor at Yale University, Robert M. Yerkes. According to Irven DeVore, "for the succeeding thirty years almost all of the accurate information available on the behavior of monkeys and apes living in natural environments was the result of Carpenter's research and writing."
