You must have a very good grasp on Math & Physics, but that alone will not get you through because there is nothing 'general' about Rocket Science (that's what Aerospace Engineering is).

All of the courses are mainly centered around Mathematics and Physics with a little bit of Chemistry. However, there is nothing general about the course load because it spans over a myriad of disciplines: Thermodynamics, Propulsion, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanics, Mathematics, Aerodynamics, Astrodynamics, etc. The applications are variable as you will see, though obviously they are geared towards Aerospace.

Aerospace Engineering is a a challenging field, believed to be one of the hardest types of Engineering. Along with Electrical Engineering & Engineering Science and Mechanics, it is very math and theory intensive. Technically Aerospace Engineering is a specialized area within Mechanical Engineering, focused towards aircraft/spacecraft. To become an Aerospace Engineer, one needs to have very strong analytical and critical thinking skills because the problems that need to be solved in this field are very complex. Hence, colloquially, Aerospace Engineering is what everyone refers to as 'Rocket Science'. I am currently an Aerospace Engineering student and the following are areas that I must take to earn my Bachelor's Degree (before I got for Masters):

Math Courses:

Linear Algebra

Calculus (Differential, Integral and Multi-variable)

Vector Geometry

Differential Equations

Computational Methods

Operational Methods

Experimental Methods

Introduction to Proofs

Science Courses:

Chemistry (Freshman year first semester, general)

Physics (Mechanical & Electrical [or Magnetism])

Engineering Courses:

Statics

Dynamics

Mechanics of Deformable Bodies

Materials for Aerospace Engineering

Aircraft Performance

Astromechanics

Vehicle Vibration & Control

Thin-walled structures

Stability & Control

Aerodynamics/Hydrodynamics

Compressible Aerodynamics

Boundary Layer Theory

Aerospace Structures

Aircraft.Spacecraft design

I'm pretty sure I missed a couple here and there but that's the meat of it. Hope you got the idea.

What is needed to get a bachlors in aerospace engineering?

If you want to be an aerospace engineer, you should probably actually set your sights on a master's degree, not a bachelor's degree. Aerospace engineers take full and rigorous coursework in science and mathematics, including everything from physics to mechanical engineering, as well as lab work/applied work.
