Is there a simple way (ideally, one or two words) to refer to each of the following items as elements of the same whole? Here are the items:

  1. the courses for undergraduate, graduate, and PhD students in a certain discipline (say, mathematics) at a certain university;
  2. the facilities (including classrooms, labs, etc.) where these courses take place;
  3. the people teaching these courses or doing research in the same discipline at the same university;
  4. the facilities (classrooms, labs, etc.) where these activities of teaching and research take place;
  5. the funds (salaries, scholarships, etc.) that teachers, researchers, and students receive to support their activities.

I thought that "mathematics program" would have been fine for my purposes, but I'm no longer so sure.

Can the word "program" be used to refer to the whole package of courses, facilities, people, funds, etc., in a certain discipline at a certain place?
