Zorc graduated cum laude with an A.B. in Philosophy from Georgetown University in 1965. From 1965 to 1969, he was a Peace Corps member in the Philippines. In 1971, he obtained an M.A. in Linguistics & Anthropology from Cornell University, and graduated with a Ph.D. in Linguistics in 1975.[5] His doctoral dissertation was a comprehensive survey of the Bisayan languages.[6]

From 1976 to 1986, Zorc was a Senior Lecturer at the School of Australian Linguistics (SAL).[7]

Zorc has contributed to major works on Austronesian historical linguistics such as the Comparative Austronesian Dictionary (1995), to which he contributed an index of Proto-Austronesian reconstructions.[8] He has also published various dictionaries such as the Tagalog slang dictionary (1991).[9][10]

Other than Austronesian languages, Zorc has also published works on Armenian, Nguni languages, and Cushitic languages.[11]
