An A.A. degree is "Associate in Arts" It is a "two year" degree, so it requires basically four semesters if you are able to do full time study, or a total of about 16 courses that need to be completed. It might be a little more if it is a degree in a technical field or a field like Art where you need to do studio or lab classes.
This is the degree that is normally given by Community Colleges. Most Community colleges have classes in the evening and weekends so that people who are working can also pursue their educations. After you finish your AA in many cases you can be admitted directly to your state university, and all the credits that you took on your AA will count at the university towards your BA or Bachelor of Arts - that is the four year degree that is considered the standard, basic degree for nearly all USA colleges and universities.
Community colleges are a good deal. Check it out and Go for it!
