It depends on the college as to what a math major with a concentration in probability and statistics needs to take.

It is likely that such a major will require real analysis and proof-based linear algebra, among other math courses, as well as calculus-based probability and statistics courses. But these courses are typically considered important if you want to go on to graduate study in statistics.

Of course, elective courses in subjects relating to what you want to apply statistics courses to can be helpful.
