Error in logic: Once track code is set by Biotechnology (PRST program, BT track), and you select another major, the track (BT) is still there. Also, the same with the certificate field. Track and certificate should only be specified for degree programs if they have a track, like biotechnology. There are a handful of programs with subtracks to define their program. PRST BT is a different program from PRST IO, etc. Just because they have the same PRST program, they act as separate programs.
