While working for the U.S. Treasury Department in Washington, D.C., he attended George Washington University and earned a master's degree in 1920. Afterwards, he began teaching at Simmons College and attending summer school at the University of California, Berkeley.

Later, Rister returned to teach at George Washington University while working on his Ph.D, which he received in 1925. He then returned to teach at Simmons College and helped form the West Texas Historical Association, serving as the editor of its Yearbook from 1925 to 1929.
