You cannot get a Bachelor of Arts in photography at a regular college or university, but you can get a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a concentration in photography at a university, or at an art college.
However, since you do not have interests in drawing and painting, it does not sound like a BFA would be the right thing for you.
Some community colleges offer an associate degree in photography. You may want to explore this option. If you would rather work toward a bachelor's degree at a 4 year college, you could take some courses in photography, but you'd have to major in something else (again, unless you were working toward a BFA).

I believe that if you want to major solely in photography you would have to attend an art school, most schools offer an art major which you take photography classes to complete your degree. I think that you would be better off taking courses through organizations just as museums to pursue this since you are not interested in the drawing and painting. You need to consider whether this is a career you are pursuing or a hobby and what you are willing to invest. If you feel like formal education is what you are looking for more than liking you will have to take some drawing classes to learn and appreciate form and space. If this is a hobby smaller classes for enjoyment are probably more up your alley. If you pursue it as a hobby then you could make a bigger investment.
I do however have a friend how is very talented and never took any classes. She taught her self the trade of developing and started her own studio. She has become very successful so maybe a degree isn't something you have to have.
I hope this is helpful! GOOD LUCK!

Don't go to art school if you are not very good at it. You can take photography classes either through the university or through clubs. Keep it a hobby for now and get your B.A. in something else. If you want something loosely related to photography then study journalism, literature, history, etc.

A Bachelor of Arts degree conjured pictures of educating like Sandbox, BasketWeaving, and Mickey Mouse upload-ons. A Bachelor of technologies degree conjures up pictures of a specialist that i might want to employ.
