Yes I graduated from master in app. stats (Mappstat). It's very application-based course as the name suggest. There actually another master in statistics in UM that is very theoretical and they select only those with strong mathematical background. While Mappstat can be taken by those that have some experience in calculus/statistics.

We use softwares, mainly SPSS, R and Eview.
I heard that if you want to change master course, you need to quit from the course and apply back next semester (no simple major switching, I could be wrong). You can email UM for confirmation.
