College degree question

Does anyone know the difference between A.A., A.S., and A.A.S. degrees? When I google them they all come back as associate degrees but I can't figure out the difference.

AAS degrees are meant to be stand alone, and are pre-professional (so, not intended to transfer to a 4 year school). Stuff like tech, etc.

AS is Associate in Science
AA is Associate in Liberal Arts (most popular for general majors who intend to transfer to a 4 year school)
