I had a dropdown that had three entries: kinesiology, family studies,
public and community health.  So in my Oracle DB, I had a field TYPE
VARCHAR2(100) to take that information, as is.  Now I find that
someone can be in more than one spot, so instead of a dropdown, I now
have a checkbox for each entry.  Is the standard way to deal with
this to have three database fields like:

isFamilyStudies INT,
isKinseology INT,
isPublicAndCommunityHealth INT,

It seems kinda inflexible that I would have to add a row each time I
added to that list, but if that's how it's done then ok.
