An associates degree usually only teaches the basics of college (math, science, english, history) without going into any depth within any particular field. (The intern doing filing and coffee making.)
A bachelor's degree teaches the basics of college and the basics of the student's particular field of study. (The newbie tech taking level 1 IT calls.)
The master's degree helps to focus the student more within the field of study and to get them moving forward in applications of that field and/or research. (The more advanced tech taking level 2 and escalated calls and possibly working QA.)
The doctoral degree shows the student has reached a level of "expert" within a narrow area of inquiry within their chosen field. (The SME/instructor/manager.)
