She received a Master of Arts (1967) and Ph.D. (1969) from University of Michigan in U.S. and comparative history. [2]
After completing her Ph.D, Sklar worked as a lecturer and assistant professor at University of Michigan (1969-1974) before becoming an Associate Professor (1974-1981) and Professor (1981-1988) of History at the University of California Los Angeles.
