MAGIC – Miami Animation and Gaming International Complex

Launched in 2015 as the first facility of its kind at a public institution in Florida, MAGIC has grown from just 65 students to more than 800 today. Housed at MDC Wolfson Campus in downtown Miami, MAGIC has graduated over 600 students, many whom now work at leading studios such as Nickelodeon, Ubisoft, Bungie Games, Blizzard, TelevisaUnivision, NBC, and Telemundo.

Modeled after a professional production studio, the Miami Animation & Gaming International Complex (MAGIC) at Miami Dade College offers industry-driven academic programs, including two Associates in Arts in Animation & Game Art and Game Development & Design to prepare students for high-demand careers. This year, MAGIC expanded its offerings with the launch of a Digital Production Studio and LED Volume Stage course, further enhancing its animation curriculum and ensuring students gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge tools shaping the future of digital media.
