I’ve been trying to find out what it all means, like there’s Bachelor’s degree, Doctorate, Bachelor of Design and Master of Education. But what do they mean? Is a bachelor’s degree the lowest degree you can get and master’s is the highest or do different courses have different names for their degrees?

Associates is generally a 2 year degree, the year being what the school determines to be how many credits/classes are appropriate in that time for that degree.
Bachelors is 4 years, this is the “standard” college degree most associate with being a college graduate.
Masters is another 2 years, though sometimes working adults spread it out. Usually it is the stepping stone for a better job, think MBA’s for business. Some jobs require it, teachers often need a masters.
Doctorate is 2-4 years further education, usually there is an addition component on top of class work, real world work, a thesis, or something like that. You don’t always need the masters, a JD for lawyers is technically a doctoral degree and doesn’t require one.
