The common degree types are listed below from lowest to highest.
• Associate's Degree - This is a two-year degree that is generally given out by junior colleges, community colleges, and business colleges.
• Bachelor's Degree - This is the standard four-year degree that most people think of when they think of a college degree.
• Master's Degree - This degree is the next step above The Bachelor's Degree. It allows a person to gain a greater degree of qualification for more highly demanding, and highly paying, jobs.

A bachelor's degree is received after 4 years (or so) of college. If you continue with college you can receive a master's degree (I believe its about 30 extra credits). You can continue with coarses and receive your doctoral degree and I'm not positive, but I think its 60 or 90 extra credits. The doctoral degree is higher.
Yes, there are post-doctoral degrees available, such as a Doctor of Science (ScD) or Doctor of Letters (DLitt), which are considered higher than a traditional doctorate.
