Can you use std::string? Or do you have to use char arrays? If you have to use char arrays, can department code be more than one character?
Because...

There are other issues however. Department code can only be one character, because you've declared "department" to be 2 characters, but one of those characters is going to be occupied by \0 because you're using a char* string. You should probably stick to std::string if you're using C++, unless of course
your professor does not allow it.

You're using std::cin for input into a character array without any thought about how many characters a user will type. If they type more than 1 (because you're using char department[2]) it will actually cause a out of bounds error. When you std::cout the department, it will actually keep printing random stuff until it encounters a null-terminating character (\0). They occur often enough on disk that your program won't crash every single time, but you definitely should look into a version of getline. At least I think getline is what you're looking for.
