Look at math 309 and 431 here: https://math.wisc.edu/undergraduate/courses-enrollment/probability-courses/

That page is specifically for math majors and minors/certificates, not engineering.

Statistics for Engineering is 324 or 371.

OP asked if AP Stat requires Multi. AP Stat is equivalent to 301, if we go by Wisc. worldview, it requires Quant Reasoning. No idea what that is?

AP stat is not considered equivalent to 301: https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/getting-credit-placement/search-policies/college/1203

It literally says if you get a 4 on the exams you'll get credit for 301.

OP doesn’t know much about math if he/she thinks multivariable is a prerequisite for stats.

There is baby Stats which is what AP stats is. Next level Stats courses require calculus, and more advanced statistics require even higher calculus. Why?

"Calculus becomes crucial for understanding the mathematical underpinnings of statistics. This includes:
Continuous Probability Distributions: Calculus is used to work with probability density functions (integrals) and other properties.
Proof and Derivation: Proving statistical results, such as conditions for unbiased estimators or the maximum likelihood principle, requires calculus.
Moments and Tail Probabilities: Calculating these statistical measures relies on calculus. "

It absolutely is depending on the level of stats you're studying.
