He taught for one year at Sierra College before joining his friend Alvin Duskin as a teacher at the experimental college, Emerson, in Pacific Grove, Ca.
From 1965–67 he was an Instructor of Humanities at Harvey Mudd College.
In 1967 he received a Ph.D. from Claremont Graduate School where he wrote his doctoral thesis "The Descent to God: Religious Language in Several Contemporary American Poets".
At Claremont Ben Saltman became good friends with poet Bert Meyers, whose friendship and encouragement inspired him to start writing poetry seriously.

Saltman was the recipient of two literature fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1969 and 1987.
In 1992, after retiring, he volunteered to teach at California State University Northridge for free after state budget cuts caused the school to cancel 1,000 courses previously scheduled for the fall semester.
After reading the Swami Prabhavananda's translation and commentary on the Bhagavad Gita, Saltman started frequenting lectures at the Vedanta Society of Southern California along with disciples Aldous Huxley and Christopher Isherwood.
In addition to being cited as providing editorial assistance for the Swami Prabhavananda in "The Sermon on the Mount according to Vedanta", he wrote an article for "Vedanta and the West" called What Vedanta Means to Me.
