X holds an AA degree in Liberal Arts from XX College, a BA degree in History from XXX University, and an MPA degree from the University of XXXX.
This is in the US. If anyone could help me about all these kinds of degrees (especially how many years each one takes), I'd be really grateful. I suppose they go from the lower to the higher.

The Associate of Arts (A.A.) is a two-year undergraduate degree offered by many community colleges or junior colleges in Canada and the United States. Such degrees transfer to four-year institutions that offer full Bachelor of Arts degrees.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associate_of_Arts
Bachelor of Arts (B.A. or A.B.), from the Latin artium baccalaureus, is a bachelor's degree awarded for an undergraduate course or programme in either the liberal arts, the sciences or both. A Bachelor of Arts degree programme generally lasts three years in nearly all of the European Union countries as well as in Australia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, India, Iraq, Israel, New Zealand, Iceland, Norway, the Canadian province of Quebec, Singapore, the Caribbean, South Africa and Switzerland, whereas it usually lasts four years in Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Canada (outside Quebec), Brazil and Latin America, Japan, Pakistan, Scotland, the Russian Federation, Tunisia, Turkey, Egypt and the United States.[1][2]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BA_Degree
The Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree is a professional graduate degree in Public Administration. The MPA program prepares individuals to serve as managers in the executive arm of local, state/provincial, and federal/national government, and increasingly in nongovernmental organization (NGO) and nonprofit sectors; it places a focus on the systematic investigation of executive organization and management. The MPA program usually takes 2 years of full-time, post-baccalaureate study to complete, with some requiring additional time to complete a thesis.
