Albright received a baccalaureate degree in history from Colorado College in 1928 and a Master of Arts degree in educational psychology from the University of Colorado in 1938. Albright also completed graduate courses at Stanford University, the University of Minnesota, and Indiana University, although he never earned a degree from these institutions.

In 1935, Albright became the State Director of the Colorado Historical Records Survey — a position he held until 1937. From 1939-1944, Albright held several positions in higher education, including fraternity counselor at the University of Minnesota and Colorado College, and later a teacher, director, and field representative at Kemper Military School. Preston B. Albright joined Miami University in 1945 as a Freshman Advisor, Instructor of History, and Head of the Freshman Residence. Following an arrest in Cincinnati, OH in 1964, Albright took a nearly two-year leave of absence from Miami University and subsequently resigned on December 28, 1965. Shortly thereafter, Albright joined Vincennes University where he served as Dean of Men and Director of Guidance for two years, from 1965-1967. From 1967 until an unknown date, Albright served as an instructor in the social sciences at Olivet College. Albright is believed to have retired in or around 1973.
