ASC program of 4 Years

Title says it, I joined a firm where the ASC PE program is 4 years. This is an UMM firm with $10B+ find size. 

Speaking with friends at other PE shops, they seem to have 2-3 years ASC programs. Has anyone heard of 4-years program before? I could get 2 years behind friends who get VP after 2 years which seems long.
