​Introduction

The Master of Arts (M.A.) in Humanities with the concentration in Theology is a 36-credit-hour program administered by Forge Theological Seminary (FTS) and awarded by IIC University through our partnership with GradXS, an international research program facilitator. While FTS remains committed to refraining from recognized accreditation in the United States, this partnership provides students with an opportunity to earn an accredited M.A. degree through IIC University.
