Alyssa,
Courses focused on site and materials is best. Knowing how to place a home in a site according to the environmental conditions and how to get the most out materials are the core of architecture. You'll need to understand mechanical, lighting and structure so don't discount these courses. It all depends on how focused you want to become in the profession. Since I don't know you I can't really suggest anything better than some basic courses.

take a finance course.  the hardest part of home ownership is paying for it.  once you get that down, you can hire an architect.
