I am currently a senior and have a question regarding the degrees I have to take in the future. I would want to not only design buildings, but be able to design a bit of outdoor as well. I am unsure whether to select a pre-professional and professional degrees. I should take and what types? Advice would be really appreciated!

In order to become an architect, you need to accomplish three tasks - 1) education, 2) experience, and 3) examination.
With regards to education, almost all states (jurisdictions) require a professional architecture degree accredited by NAAB (http://www.naab.org). The professional degree can be either the Bachelor of Architecture or the Master of Architecture; in addition, many architecture programs offer a pre-professional degree typically a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies (BSAS).
A pre-professional degree is needed to pursue the professional Master of Architecture degree.
Coming from high school, you would enter either the five-year Bachelor of Architecture or the pre-professional BSAS. Another option would be to pursue a degree in any discipline and pursue the Master of Architecture at the graduate level.
