Przeworski graduated with an A.B. in mathematics from Princeton University in 1994 after completing a senior thesis, titled "The irreducible representations of SL₂(Fq)", under the supervision of Zeev Rudnick. She then pursued graduate studies at the University of Chicago, where she received a Ph.D. from the Committee on Evolutionary Biology in 2000 after completing a doctoral dissertation, titled "Natural selection and patterns of genetic variability in Drosophila and humans", under the supervision of Brian Charlesworth and Dick Hudson.[5][6]
Przeworski was elected as a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 2020.[7][8]
