Really a graduate degree is needed to become a professional statistician (MS or PH.D). Solid liberal arts and sciences training would prepare you for the best graduate programs in statistics. Generally, an undergraduate degree in math, science or engineering would be excellent preparation. You dont need to major is statistics as an undergraduate. A college such as Pomona or other liberal arts college could give you excellent preparation even though it does not have a statistics department

Some of the best graduate programs in statistics in the country are at
Stanford, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, University of Chicago, University of Wisconsin, University of Washington, University of North Carolina, North Carolina State, UC Berkeley, Some of these programs are in biostatistics- some are general . Good luck.
