    The data science degree is a pigeonhole IMO. Between the two options listed, Iโ€™d echo the first comment and say go with CS.

    If youโ€™re married to the idea of a data science degree, go with an applied math or a degree statistics instead.

    FWIW, I have a ms in stats and am pursuing a second ms in CS. I highly value the mathematical abilities instilled by the stats degree, but in terms of how much value recruiters & hiring managers will assign to a degree, my experience is that CS will generally have the upper hand.
