Dual degrees, or a double major as it is sometimes called, is taking enough classes as an undergraduate to meet all the requirements for both programs. You may not be able to complete it in 4 years, depending on how much the requirements overlap.
A masters or doctorate degree is just more schooling in whatever field. It is your choice if you want to continue school to get said degrees, but generally you'd pick ONE field to study, and focus on that. Once you get a masters, you can then go on to get a doctorate, or not, as you choose. You could also get a second masters after getting the first.
There is no end to how much schooling you take...but while you are in school, you are generally not earning much money, if any. So it's a balancing act among many competing interests.
