Associates (Community College Level) vs. Bachelors (Four Year College or University)
Community College Level
An Associate degree (two year community college) 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. Evidently it would take longer as a part-time student. Within the United States, the associates typically falls into three main categories; Associates of Arts (AA), Associates of Science (AS), and Associates of Applied Science (AAS). An associates of arts (AA), and associates in science (AS) degrees are typically designed for transfer to a four year college or university. Therefore, these degrees have a strong liberal arts emphasis and include a good balance of humanities, social science, and written communication along with the exact sciences especially in higher level math. They also have the foundational course work needed as prerequisites for the higher level courses at the four year institution. The AAS was typically designed as a terminal degree giving the student all the expertise needed to enter the workforce after completion of the degree. However, today, many AAS degree are transferable, but the student should meet with the transfer counselor for appropriate direction when it comes to the AAS degrees. Depending on the program of study and state mandates, the associates can take anywhere from 60 to 64 credits to complete. Some programs of study (usually within the health related fields) may take a bit more in credits.
Four Year College or University Level
The bachelors degree (four year college or university) is designed as a four year program of study provided the student takes the degree as prescribed by the college or university. Again, part-time students will take longer to complete the degree. How long it would take depends on the credit load taken per semester. Basically, within the United States there are two common categories; Bachelors of Arts (BA), and Bachelors of Science (BS). It depends on the institution and department within the school as to which focus they prefer.
The BA has a broader scope, with a strong emphasis on the humanities, theoretical and general knowledge in a recognized discipline, interdisciplinary field, or of a professional study.
The BS is more of a focused approach with a science base to include a balance of liberal arts, technological knowledge, math and computer oriented skills, and practical skills needed for a particular discipline within the field.
The number of credits required depends on the program of study. In general, the bachelors can take between 120 and 128 credits to complete. Some programs of study may take more. For example, architecture. The following are some differences between community colleges, and four year colleges and universities.
Community College
Many individuals start at the community college level for a variety of reasons to include:
Four Year Colleges and Universities
In the end, it is a matter of preference. Do you like being a big fish in a little pond, or a little fish in a big pond? Whichever you choose, you must be happy with your school, its offerings, the services provided, and environment. If you're not happy, you will not fair as well.

Yes, if you can do that IF you want the AA degree in an additional major. If you already have a BA from one major, though, then you are essentially considered to have completed the AA as well as the BA. There is no good reason to re-take the classes. If you are asking this because you have a BA are thinking you might want a Master's in another field, then graduate schools are really not as picky about what your actual BA is in. Technically, you can get into medical school with a degree in English Lit. I would suggest checking with the schools you are interested in if you are thinking about changing fields. Good luck!

You would list them AA/AS BA/BS
No, not if your credit hours from you AA are accepted at the college you want to finish your BA at. I know someone that had a AA in Business and went two more years for the BA in Teacher Education. They told her as long as the credits are accepted you are fine, no matter what the field.
Depending on the school you can get a BA in elementary education if you have an AA in general studies. You may have to take some core classes but you should have no problem with it.

If you are applying to a community college to take an AA, most have a transfer credit limit. They may transfer anywhere from 32 to 40 credits if they are usable toward the AA which could be 60 to 64 credits to complete. Still, I'm wondering why you would want to obtain an AA after already completing a BA. The AA degrees are typically designed to transfer to a four year college or university to pursue the BA or BS. Their are many with a BA and BS that take an associate in applied science being that it is very career oriented. In other words, nursing, physical therapy, etc., but rarely do I ever see someone taking the AA after having a BA or BS. Well, you most have your reasons.
BA.
No but you will probably complete the requirements for an AA & maybe even a BA long before you achieve your masters.
