===Higher education===

At the [[University of California, Berkeley]], Keys initially studied chemistry, but was dissatisfied and took some time off to work as an [[Oiler (occupation)|oiler]] aboard the [[American President Lines]] ship SS ''President Wilson'', which traveled to [[China]].<ref name=Hoffman1979/> He then returned to Berkeley, switched majors, and graduated with a B.A. in [[economics]] and [[political science]] (1925) and M.S. in [[zoology]] (1928).<ref name=Hoffman1979/>

For a brief time, he took up a job as a management trainee at [[F. W. Woolworth Company|Woolworth's]], but returned to his studies at [[Scripps Institution of Oceanography]] in [[La Jolla, California|La Jolla]] on a [[scholarship|fellowship]].

In 1930, he received his Ph.D. in [[oceanography]] and [[biology]] from UC Berkeley.<ref name=Hoffman1979/> He was then awarded a [[United States National Research Council|National Research Council]] fellowship that took him to [[Copenhagen, Denmark]] to study under [[August Krogh]] at the Zoophysiological Laboratory for two years.<ref name=Hoffman1979/><ref name='Zadunaisky1969'>{{cite book | last1 = Zadunaisky | first1 = JA | title = Fish Physiology | chapter = The Chloride Cell: The Active Transport of Chloride and the Paracellular Pathways | volume = 10 | editor1= William Stewart Hoar |editor2=David J.

Once his fellowship ended, he went to [[University of Cambridge|Cambridge]] but took some time off to teach at [[Harvard University]], after which he returned to Cambridge and earned a second Ph.D. in [[physiology]] (1936).<ref name ='Hoffman1979'/>
