Taylor earned a B.S. (1938) in science from Lincoln University and his M.S. and Ph.D. in Solid state physics from the University of Pennsylvania. He was the second African-American to earn the Doctorate in physics from the University of Pennsylvania. He has guided many students for their Ph.Ds in physics.

During his composite forty-five years of teaching, mentoring and researching at higher educations, Taylor mentored students in the Baltimore public school system. Recently, the Lincoln University (Pennsylvania) honored him with Ph.D. in science for his various contributions to education.
