First thing, if you plan to study for a Master's degree, stop using that silly teeny-bopper spelling (cuz and ryt) and start using standard English.
"Four year" colleges have degree programs that in theory require four years of study. Many students take longer to complete their degrees. The usual degrees in four years are BA for English, languages, history, etc and BS for science and technology majors. Normally, a Master's degree requires at least one full year of study and another year of some courses and writing a thesis. Some MS or MEd degrees do not require a thesis, but those are less respected in academic life.
You are doing a good thing by thinking about this ahead of time. I bet by the time you are in college you will have your life pretty well under control!!!

When you attend a 4year college, you graduate with a Bachelor's degree. At most large universities it takes more than 4 years to graduate though, for the average student. To get a master's you must attend an additional 2 year program AFTER getting your bachelor's degree. Not just do you go to school for 2 more years, but the additional schooling is much more intense to get your masters. Each time you want to earn a higher more prestigious degree, you must apply yourself more and more.

You get a BA after the 4 years of undergrad. If you want a masters, typically it's another 2 years in addition to the other 4.

Generally 4 years = BA. Another 2 = masters.

There are some 5 year masters programs out there, but they may include summers. Also, don't count on getting a Bachelors degree in 4 years, as it may take more time, depending on your major, how many hours you take per semester, and whether you change your major.

Usually you get your bachelor's in 4 years, then stay two more years for your master's, but it's possible to take more courses at once and get your degree earlier (but that's a lot of work).

Historically the BA or BS took four years. Now though, taking more than four years has become very common. The MA or MS can be done in as little as one year but again, it is much more common to take two or more years to earn these degrees.
