A graduate of Franklin & Marshall College, Cope received his MA from the University of Wyoming where he met his wife-to-be Dorcas, with whom he would share a lifelong interest in the natural world.

In 1963, after completing his PhD at the University of California, Berkeley, he came to Yale Peabody Museum where his research focused on shell microstructure within the Mollusca (shelled invertebrates).
