You quitting your degree is entirely on you, and nothing other than that.
If it was purely based around Visual Basic, I believe it'd be more of a "year-long introductory."
You may have signed up for the wrong class(es) if that's not what you wanted.
Always learn what you want to do first before going into college.

Do you want to program any types of software?
-Check out Computer Science majors.
Do you want to program security and networks?
-Check out Computer Assurance
Do you want to program games and entertainment?
-Check out Computer Science majors with a focus of Game Design.

Typically if you sign up for classes, the classes will have an outline before you apply. Make sure to read exactly what the courses will be focused on, and act accordingly.
The average person changes their major 3 times during college.. If your class wasn't right for you, go elsewhere and/or try a new, and more relevant to you, class.

If you're talking about IT Essentials, it's a completely different course where people like me would hate being there and would grow bored within 10 seconds

Lol no. I'm talking about computer engineering. Like building robots and stuff.

You can argue that ASM is just human readable machine code.

I think, however, it's such a small level above machine code that making a big fuss over the distinction is perhaps pedantic.

So ASM actually gets run through a little interpreter?

When I said of the languages, I was referring to the languages already mentioned.

Can I code C++ in Visual Studio?? I thought it was only for Visual Basic.
