He continued to the University of Wisconsin where he received a master's degree and a PhD in the history of science and medieval history in 1957.
In 1959, Grant came to Indiana University as an assistant professor of history.
His teaching career spanned over thirty years at IU.

Grant was named distinguished professor of both that department and the history department.
A distinguished medievalist, Grant wrote prolifically throughout his professorship at IU.
Professor Grant was twice chair of his department (1973–1979; 1987–1990) where he taught courses on medieval science, natural philosophy and science and religion.

In his book The Foundations of Modern Science in the Middle Ages: Their Religious, Institutional and Intellectual Contexts, Grant discussed the developments and discoveries that culminated in the Scientific Revolution of the 17th century.
He emphasized how the roots of modern science were planted in the ancient and medieval worlds long before the modern period, and that the Christian Latin civilization of Western Europe began the last stage of its intellectual development.
One basic factor was how Christianity developed in the West with the establishment of the medieval universities around 1200.
In God and Reason in the Middle Ages he argued that the Middle Ages had acquired an undeserved reputation as an age of superstition, barbarism, and unreason.
Edward Grant published more than ninety articles and twelve books, including:
