Associates - 2 year degree, the lowest form of degree

Bachelors - 4 year degree, your classic college degree

Master's - An add-on degree to your Bachelors, could be 1 year or several but is a specialized degree in a specific field.  For example a Master's of Science in Accounting is a common degree for someone to get as part of becoming an Accountant.  It takes an extra year over the 4 year bachelors. 

PHD/Doctorate - Also an add-on degree, this degree may also involve doing your own research in the field or is a much higher level of academic knowledge.  Doctors all have a Medical Doctorate as an example.
