Yes, IMHO I think that just looking at the COSC option tells me that it is more line with your ultimate goal - to prepare for a Masters in Chemistry. This concentration forces you into more UL courses with the majority in chemistry similar to a BS or BA in chemistry at a B&M. Additionally, COSC will grant you credits for your performance on the Chemistry GRE It's your GRE ranking that will make or break your acceptance into most masters programs when coming with your prerequisites filled in non-traditional ways. All the advice given in this thread still applies to COSC. Know what program you are shooting for; research their pre-reqs carefully. You will probably find that most schools will accept online theory, but require in-seat labs for at least all the basic science reqs. However, this is beginning to open up a bit with the rapidly improving virtual labs. In Anatomy you don't have t slice up the cats or pigs at my CC. Your credits will not distinguish between the hybrid or fully online offering. But it's not available here in chemistry or physics yet.
Fortunately, COSC is also reputed to be the most advisor friendly, They pride themselves on their grads finding placement in masters programs. Talk to them to find out if they are prepared to guide you toward your goal. Good luck.
