BS & BA are both undergraduate degrees but in different directions.
BA = Bachelor of Arts (Liberal Arts like language, etc. not only visual)
BS = Bachelor of Science (includes math)
JD = Juris Doctor, Doctor of Jurisprudence, Doctor of Law (or simply a law degree) which is an advanced degree like a Ph'D

BS is a bachelor of science and BA is a bachelor of arts degree. Both a BS and a BA degree take approximately 4years to obtain and are offered at Universities.
JD is a Juris Doctor. This degree is a professional degree in law offered at some Universities. This is a degree that takes approximately 3 years to obtain, but one must first have a bachelor's degree before one can start in a JDprogram. Hope this helps!!
