In my b-school, it was possible to major in Management with concentration on HR. Though you still had to do classes on Math (Calculus, Linear Algebra), Macro- and -Micro, Financial and Management Accounting, Statistics, and Data Analytics, regardless of concentration. Listen, if you don't want to take these subjects, then choose another major. Business student who does not want to study economics and math is as clueless as a med school student who doesn't want to study biology.

P.S. I know how it feels, I also was there. I liked economics in high school but hated math (despite being good at it). Then, in a b-school, I got a great teacher who showed me how interesting it is. My advise: give it a chance. Maybe you had a bad teacher who did not inspire you. Get a good economics book. I would recommend Economics The User's Guide by Ha Joon Chang. It is a great introduction to the subject.
