Any non-admin user can access the GAL programmatically, see:

I don't believe this API call is documented or supported officially but it works even with OAuth authentication rather than the example's ClientLogin (tested on the OAuth 2.0 playground with a non-admin user and the standard https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/ Contacts scope).

Note that the Global Address List is a compilation of user profiles, groups and shared contacts. You'll need to parse it out to find the user(s) you wish to get department information for.
