What are the US cabinet departments?

Answer:
The 15 departments of the US executive branch (the cabinet) are :

Department of Agriculture
Department of Commerce
Department of Defense
Department of Education
Department of Energy
Department of Health and Human Services
Department of Homeland Security
Department of Housing and Urban Development
Department of the Interior
Department of Justice
Department of Labor

The executive who runs a department is called a Secretary (e.g. Hillary Clinton is the Secretary of State). The exception is the Department of Justice, which is headed by the Attorney General.
They run the 14 Executive Departments (departments of State, Defense, Treasury, etc.) and provide advice to the president.
