In 1925, Geisel graduated from Dartmouth College with a Bachelor of Arts. He proceeded to further his studies by taking a postgraduate at Lincoln College, Oxford.

He returned to the United States in 1927 and moved to New York City, where he found work as an illustrator for Vanity Fair and Life magazine. Geisel also became successful in providing illustrations for advertising campaigns.
