Maybe a specific program in a college that specializes in drama/writing/etc.

Definitely what the user above suggested. A college/university that specializes in one of those things. I know there are colleges like that. I wouldn't worry too much about math; you'll probably go up to College Algebra and be done when you're in one of those majors.

I would suggest a small liberal arts college. I could find a list of good ones for you because i have been doing some research into my own opportunities.

I'm just terrible at math. Since the end of high school, I was out of practice with math. My real interests are History, English, Writing, Psychology, and Art.

OP, I can relate to your struggles. I too, despite being an Aspie (and Asian), am not all that mathingly-inclined.

Mizzou (University of Missouri, Columbia) is basically a college for everyone--whether they got straight A's or straight C's, whether they have clear goals for the future or make up their lives as they go along, whether they're the studious type or the partying type, no matter what they want to study--pretty much anyone. That's all I know--I don't know anything else about colleges cuz I'm only a sophomore.

Would you consider completing your study overseas? I can't speak for every country but there's a lot of foreign universities that wouldn't require any maths from you in order to graduate.

I live in Australia. There are no general education requirements at any university and it is possible to complete a degree that is comprised entirely of electives. There are certain degrees that require certain classes but they are minimal and fall within the specialization and interests of the degree in question so there's a reasonably good chance that you will be interested in the material and might have chosen it to be an elective, anyway.

There are a lot of traditional universities that specialize in undergraduate and post graduate education and there's also a lot of smaller institutions that focus on teaching practical skills. I know of a couple institutions that specialize in drama and creative writing.

It's fairly easy to switch courses and experiment with different disciplines and I find it quite easy to be a student here.
