That would basically require a plugin, if you want correct solution.
May be possible to solve this through global, but that's not a beginner's solution.
Global solution would need a new column in category table, which controls if categories would show up the in the category dropdown list. But that doesn't protect hackers to ignore this global based solution.
Plugin based solution would give you full protection against user submission into admin-only category.
