It's the Kentucky Community & Technical College System (KCTCS), a group of I'm guessing 20+ community colleges around Kentucky. In recent years Kentucky has done a big overhaul of the community college system. Not sure how it compares to other systems, but it's a lot better than it used to be by a long shot. This everything-online stuff didn't start until COVID restrictions came about. But since then they've leaned as hard as they can into it.

Community colleges are great for knocking out general requirements that are pretty standard across most degrees for cheaper than a full blown university (and then transferring to a state university to do the major requirements) if your goal is just to have a lower cost in getting the fancy bachelor's degree diploma, but as far as quality of instruction I am not at all surprised.

there is a subreddit /r/cscareeradvice which might be useful for you. obv. info sec is not the same as CS, but I ran a quick search for InfoSec in the subreddit and saw there are still posts about it.
