The associates degree is designed as a two year program of study as a full-time student provided the student takes the degree as prescribed by the college. There are some programs of study that may take a bit longer depending on the number of credits required. Usually these are programs within the health related fields. In addition, for students who require developmental course work as a result of basic skills testing, it would take longer. How much longer would depend on the extent of the developmental courses they are required to take. Evidently, those individuals who attend college on a part-time based would also extend their time in school. How much longer would depend on the credit load carried each semester. Typically, an associates degree takes between 60 and 64 credits to complete depending on the specific school, program of study, and state mandates.
A bachelor's degree in most areas can require between 124 to 128 college credits particular to a specific program of study. This would be based on a college or university that operates on a regular two semester academic year which is the most common. For institutions that operate on a tri-semester or quarter-semester it would be quite different. That being said, the Bachelor's degree - in most cases - is designed as a four year program of study, provided the student is full-time and follows their chosen program of study as prescribed by the college or university, and also provided the individual does not require prerequisite or developmental coursework. The minimum credit load for a full-time student is no less than 12 credits per semester. However, to complete the degree within the four years, a credit load of approximately 15 to 18 credits is recommended. For individuals who work or who have other responsibilities that would prohibit them from attending full-time, completion of the degree may take twice as long. Still, some of this time can be cut down by attending summer sessions and/or interim sessions. In addition, the bachelors and associate degrees are referred to as undergraduate degrees while the Masters and Doctorate degrees referred to as graduate degrees.

What is the difference between postgraduate degree and postsecondary degree?
A postgraduate degree is a degree you get after your undergraduate degree, so for example a Master's degree or a Ph.D. A postsecondary degree is a degree you get after high school (high school = secondary school), such as a B.A. or B.Sc. A postsecondary degree is usually referred to as an undergraduate degree. (At least in my neck of the woods.)

How many years does it take to earn a master degree in computer science?
If you already have a bachelors degree in computer science, then you can complete a masters degree in one year (two semesters) of full time study. If you have a bachelors degree in some other field, you will probably need to take some number of additional undergraduate courses which will depend on your degree and the particular school. Someone with an undergraduate degree in engineering will obviously need fewer extra courses than if your degree is in English. If you lack an undergraduate degree, then add four years.

What college degrees do lawyers need?
In the US, most attorneys have an undergraduate degree and a JD (Juris Doctor). The undergraduate degree can be in about anything, but business (for those interested in the business area), political science (if you're interested in politics), or English (the writing skills are very important) are very common. After the undergraduate degree, law school (to earn a JD) takes three years. Then all you have to do is pass the bar! A previous responder indicated a LLD (Doctor of Law) was necessary, but the LLD is actually an honorary degree which cannot be used to sit for the bar exam in any state.
