He received his Ph.D. in history from the University of California, Berkeley in 2013 with his dissertation on East bloc travel and tourism in late state socialism.

At the university, Mark Keck-Szajbel places particular focus on teaching methods and student mentoring. Recipient of numerous awards—including the Fulbright and several Foreign Language and Area Studies grants—he has studied in a half-dozen countries and regularly takes his students abroad.
