academic departments
Campus subject areas
Academic departments are the organizational units within a college or university that group faculty and courses by discipline or field of study: the English department, the Department of Chemistry.
Each department typically has its own faculty, curriculum, and administrative structure.
Students major in subjects housed within departments, and professors hold appointments in them.
