How to get enrolled in graduate astronomy?

I’m currently an undergraduate materials engineering student and I’m very interested in pursuing graduate studies in astrophysics. Is it possible, or am I required to have an undergraduate degree in physics or astronomy? Most of my courses are physics related, and I took linear algebra, differential equations, and vector calculus. However, I didn’t take quantum mechanics (strangely) or relativity. I appreciate all answers, and please if you can give as much details as possible.

    It would depend on the university that has the programs you are interested in. I would imagine that most of your course credits would be transferable, but you would need to talk with the department head or admissions for that college.
