Hi guys, as the title above describes, I am interested in majoring in Aerospace Engineering. However, I plan to take Mechanical first because I feel that it's a great foundational degree to start off with.

Just wondering whether it is possible to move on to Aerospace Engineering for graduate studies having taken Mechanical Engineering at college level.

From what I've been told the answer is yes.
 
Yeah, it is.
