Global Department Name, and [Primary CIP-code]

Name of the Global Department, as defined in the Global Department system and used to group department-IDs from multiple source systems. Note that there is no global department "ID", this name is all you need. An example Global Department is "USFSM ACCOUNTING", which groups GEMS 4-1402-000, FAST 521402, and OASIS ACC departments together, since they all represent USFSM's Accounting department.

The 6-digit CIP code designated as the "primary" CIP-code for a Global Department, as determined annually by the colleges with the Office of Decision Support, then updated in the Global Department system. For example, "450201" was determined to be the primary CIP-code for Global Department "CAS ANTHROPOLOGY". It also happens to be the primary CIP-code for Global Department "USFSM ANTHROPOLOGY".

Note that not all departments have a primary CIP-code, especially non-academic ones, like "AMBULATORY SURGERY CENTER", and note that even though a department has a primary CIP-code, they can still offer programs that fall under other CIP-codes.

For an explanation of what CIP-codes are, see https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cipcode, and to see how they tie to curriculum at USF, see https://www.systemacademics.usf.edu/curriculum/definitions.php.
