What is the difference between a 3-year and 4-year Bachelor of Arts degree?
Simply put, the 4-year BA makes it easier to get into a Master's level program. Most Universities only accept students with a 4-year or Honour's level education. Without it, they will ask you to do a Pre-Master's year, which is an extra year of undergraduate studies.

Do all Bachelor's degree programs in US have 4-year duration?
Yes, all the Bachelor's degrees in the US are of 4 years. In India the Bachelor's degrees are of 3 years duration, except the Engineering and B.Tech degrees which are of 4 years duration.

(er bestaan dus ook driejarige Bachelors-opleidingen, maar niet in de VS.)

Explanation:
Meerdere mogelijkheden, denk ik. Waarschijnlijk is het een (soort) Bsc en geen Msc dus een soort ing. Maar eigenlijk denk ik dat je deze term - als het een degree is - onvertaald moet laten, zeker zolang de exacte betekenis niet duidelijk is.

All Bachelor's degrees in the US are of 4 years - maar daarmee is nog niet gezegd dat iedere 4-year degree een Bachelors oplevert. Ik kan mij heel goed vergissen, maar waarom zou het een 4-year degree worden genoemd en niet een Bachelor's als het wel een Bachelor's is?!
