agree  Clue: or institute (по крайней мере, в моем уч. заведении)// Странно, что Simon упомянул faculty: в моем представлении, это чаще употребляется как "преподавательский состав"// Мы не спросили у аскера, что за учебное заведение, от этого может зависеть перевод
5 mins
  -> Спасибо, Clue. "Institute" и "School" тоже встречаются, но реже. Кроме того, они также могут обозначать отдельное училище, а "department" -- это всегда часть, и не более.
agree  Kirill Semenov: у нас в университете было именно так
6 mins
  -> Спасибо, Кирилл.
agree  Simon Hollingsworth: In the UK you find the "Faculty of International Relations" but I guess from the asker's location that this is not worth posting as an answer. I think this one is the most universal, geographcally, though (meaning yours, Mark!)
58 mins
  -> Thank you, Simon. The American vs. British linguistic issues never seem to surprise me.
agree  James McVay: This is what you usually see in a US university. But check this out: http://www.vsu.ru/english/depts/faculties/rgph/engforir.html
1 hr
  -> Thank you, James. That one's a translation, as I'm sure there are plenty other alternatives that don't quite match the standard English equivalents.
agree  Anna Makhorkina: Have one in my university diploma. :)

  -> Thank you, Tatyana.
neutral  Mikhail Kropotov: Your comment shows a lack of familiarity with how the word факультет is used.
5 hrs
  -> Mikhail, these aren't interchangeable notions. "Major" is a field of specilization, "department" is a division of a university. You cannot substitute one for the other.

Просматривая в последние дни сайты многих университетов ( по просьбе дочери), убедилась в том, что "факультет" в США заменен словом School - практически всюду, от самых престижных до более скромных университетов. Очень часто перед названием стоит имя (основателя или человека, прославившего этот факультет), как в приведенных мной ссылках. Так и перед названиями экономических факультетов, которыми я интересовалась (The Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon).
