Default DigiPen's Bachelor of Arts in Game Design

Hey there. For the past couple of years I've been interested in attending DigiPen. At first I was interested in their Bachelor of Science in Game Design. I soon discovered that not only was programming not the thing for me, but that I also have a talent for writing. I've decided that I'm more interested in their Bachelor of Arts in Game Design now, seeing as they've changed the program to focus on writing and storytelling in games. However, looking through their course catalogue, it seems that the degree requires several art courses. I cannot stress enough that I cannot draw at all, although I am quite good at writing. I'm wondering if it is possible to take this degree program without having to do any actual drawing, because I am not very good at it. Their catalogue says that "Alternatively, students may select an emphasis in writing and storytelling...", but the program still requires quite a few art courses. Could anyone clarify this please? Thanks!

Ask Digipen directly? I can see it requiring a few art classes as lots of design courses tend to mash up a few disciplines together.

Or you could just get a writing degree at another school. http://sloperama.com/advice/lesson32.htm
