I'm currently finishing up a B.S. in mathematics and would like to attend graduate school (a master's degree for starters, with the possibility of a subsequent Ph.D.) with an eye toward entering the field of data science. I'm also particularly interested in machine learning.

What are the graduate degree choices that would get me to where I want to go?

Is there a consensus as to whether a graduate degree in applied mathematics, statistics, or computer science would put me in a better position to enter the field of data science?

Thank you all for the help, this is a big choice for me and any input is very much appreciated. Typically I ask my questions on Mathematics Stack Exchange, but I thought asking here would give me a broader and better rounded perspective.

Every field has their own variation of "data science," so I would suggest choosing a subject that interest you and going from there.

I can't offer what the go to subject is for your particular interest. A graduate degree that would "get you where you want to go" is quite a personal understanding, so I can' answer that. But what I will say is, from my own personal experience, when I graduated with my undergrad degree in economics, I was really interested in data science, and economics allowed me to use data science in a field I'm really interested in. So I applied to Ph.D programs to further my knowledge and am using data science extensively in many different forms of analysis.

My suggestion is to apply to graduate degrees that have interesting subject matter to you and will allow you to use data science as understanding. You would fit well in an economics degree because of your background :)
