Since 2008, the Scottish Rite Master Craftsman™ program has been providing light in Freemasonry through mail-in and online correspondence courses focusing on Masonic history, ritual and philosophy. Thousands of our brothers have learned more about our ancient craft, and more about themselves through these courses.
Now the Scottish Rite Southern Jurisdiction has taken the next step in Masonic Education.
This is a complete, online, multimedia learning system designed by Masons for Masons, and is similar to online learning platforms used by colleges and universities around the world. Master Craftsman® Online College & Leadership Academy students will be able to select from numerous Masonic Education & Leadership courses and track their learning progress through a fun and interactive learning system. Best of all, the online learning system is available on any device, so you can improve yourself in Masonry anytime, anywhere.
New courses will be released regularly, providing the modern Freemason with a constant source of more light in Freemasonry.
Registration is now open, and the next part of your Masonic Journey is only a few clicks away.
As a Master Mason, how much do you know about the basic teachings of your Blue Lodge? In this mini-course, Master Masons will be quizzed on their existing knowledge of basic Masonic History, Ritual and Symbolism. Whether you have been newly raised or are a Mason with decades of experience, this course will test what you know about Freemasonry already. It will also determine if you are ready to proceed to some of the more advanced courses in the Master Craftsman® Online College.
This course is designed to give a Scottish Rite Mason a deeper understanding of basic history and a working knowledge of the organizational structure of the Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction-Mother Supreme Council of the World. The course will also answer many frequently asked questions about the Scottish Rite, giving a Scottish Rite Mason a broader grasp of the fraternity. Though the course is designed with a newer Scottish Rite Mason in mind, it can also be considered a review or refresher course for experienced Scottish Rite Masons.
Essentially the course is unchanged EXCEPT for the order of the questions. In order to accommodate the robust nature of the Master Craftsman® Philosophy Course, all the multiple-choice questions are contained in the quizzes. All the essay questions are now included in the final exam. We recommend students print the final exam from the printable study guide and answer the essay questions as they go. Then at the end they can simply transcribe or cut & paste their answers into the final exam. A full walkthrough of this is included in the course.
