Choosing between MS in Stats or Math for PhD Stats

Hi all,

 

I'm a graduating senior who will be starting a job next year doing something related to statistics/business. My employer offers tuition reimbursement, so I was planning on working towards a masters degree part time over a few years at a nearby university, not too well ranked in either math or stats. I'm coming from an undergrad math background also.

 

I'm wondering, would it matter whether or not I got my MS in math or stats if I was applying to top PhD programs in a few years? The math dept. at this school has a better course selection and faculty from what I can gather. The math degree would also help towards preparing for the math GRE.

 

Thanks
