Stats is not a minor, major, or concentration offered at Oberlin. Looking at the course catalog these seem like your options:

You could major in math which takes 9 courses including Discrete Math, Multivariable Calc, Linear Algebra, Foundations of Analysis, Group Theory, and one other 300+ level math course, and then to max out your stats courses you could take Stats and Modeling, Bayesian Computation and Mathematical Statistics.

To minor in math you need 5 courses, so you could take Stats and Modeling, Bayesian Computation, Mathematical Statistics, and a 200 level math course and a 300 level math course.

Also depending on your high school background there might be other into courses you need to take (e.g. Intro to Stats, Calc 1/2) but they don’t count for the major or minor.

I don’t know much about the Math department but people generally seem happy with it and enjoy their courses.
