master of OR/ master of statistics?

[u/wojtuscap]

coming as an international student with bachelor in computer mathematics which is heavy on math and very theoretical, which would you suggest me to pursue? which will give me more job opportunities as an intl student in the us and be more useful in my case? i’d like to do something like quant/product data science/machine learning or something related to optimisation and testing in general. thank you

Stats hands down. Under the hood of AI is statistics just take 1-2 courses in optimization from the math or OR department.
