Hello. I will be moving to the U.S. from Peru in a couple weeks to start my college career at DUKE UNIVERSITY. I put on my application that I will be majoring in neuroscience with a mathematics minor but I have a facutly member from the ENGLISH department for my academic advisor. Is there any way that I can switch my academic advisor?
Contact the advising dept at Duke. Some schools assign freshman advisors randomly, not based on major, and will give you a new one later when you actually declare your major. I don’t know if Duke works this way or not, but the only way to change anything is to talk to them.
https://advising.duke.edu/advisor is a link that explains how Duke assigns advisors. It is as @me29034 mentioned - you will receive a major specific advisor in your sophomore year.
Hey Raphael, please don’t worry or stress out about this. The reason you have such a random person is because Duke doesn’t require students to officially declare a major until the spring of sophomore year. So many students explore around their first year and take classes from different departments + you’ll most likely be taking the most basic introductory courses that you don’t actually need a “relevant” advisor that early on. You don’t really come into contact with this person more than once a semester, where they will meet you and clear you for registration for the following semester. Some will even clear you without meeting you 
What most students do if they have questions is to email the DUS (or it can be someone else) of the department directly. If you look on the departmental web site, it should have a contact if you have questions about what courses to take. The point is that after sophomore year, you’ll be able to take more electives instead of pre-req classes, and a department-specific advisor is more useful to guide you towards certain classes more relevant to your career goals.
TL;DR - don’t worry about it. You don’t need to be reassigned either. Just relax, you won’t be behind. Worst case scenario, you have a crappy advisor, but you’ll definitely make friends who have great advisors and you will still know what to do.
