code

A scalar or vector of length n and class character containing one or more department codes, e.g. BIO, PSY, etc.

Output may be made categorical using function factor or as.factor. This function also allows for easily tallying counts using, e.g., function table.

Values containing unrecognized department codes are coerced to NA (missing) values and a warning message is thrown.

A scalar or vector of values of class character containing full-length department names. Missing values are preserved.
