Academic Advising at Duke

We strive to create an advising system that is inclusive, welcoming and respectful, and that contributes to all students' feelings of belonging and recognition of their whole selves at Duke.

Class of 2026 - Welcome to Duke! You'll be hearing from our office soon, and can expect to get an email in June from your college advisor or our office, to schedule a virtual summer advising meeting that will take place before you register for your fall classes in July.

Have questions? Call us at 919-684-6217, or email questions to advising@duke.edu. We're available by phone from 9:00-4:00 ET.

There are only two course requirements for your first year,, Writing 101 and a seminar. Learn more about the fall WR 101 courses in the detailed course descriptions. If you're not taking WR101 in fall, choose a seminar course. Any course with an "S" counts. Check out all the First Year Seminars too.

Preprofessional Advising

We offer specialized advising for students considering graduate education. There are many paths to graduate and professional schools in law, health and business, and even where specific course requirements exist (as in the health professions), course sequences and combinations can and should be tailored for each student. Preprofessional advisors counsel students in these areas assisting them in applying to programs and providing information on career opportunities and the requirements for advanced study.
