He was educated at the University of California, Los Angeles (B.A. 1927), Harvard University (M.A. 1928, Ph.D. 1934), and did his post-doctoral work at Northwestern University, the London School of Economics and the University of Cape Town (1936-1938). He was married to Ruth Ethel Harris in 1930 and had three children.

Bunche helped to establish the political science department at Howard University, where he taught from 1928-1938; was co-director of the Institute of Race Relations, Swarthmore College (1936); a founder of the National Negro Congress (1936); and assisted sociologist Gunnar Myrdal on the race treatise "An American Dilemma" (1938-1940). His diplomatic career included working as Africa researcher for the Office of the Coordinator of Information (later the Office of Strategic Services) (1941-1944); area specialist on Africa for the United States State Department (1944-1947); member of the U.S. delegation to United Nation's conference at Dumbarton Oaks (1945); advisor to U.S. delegation to the U.N.
