  1. AreaofSpecialty (column: DN) - Specific, intended area of specialty of performing and visual arts disciplines
  2. Discipline (column: DO) - Checklist selection of performing and visual arts disciplines
  3. OtherDiscipline (column: DP) - If "Other" is selected from the above discipline checklist, the student types in their discipline here
