Both MDC and FIU recognize the significant roles they each play as exemplars evolving successful transfer pathways\, which have positively impacted student outcomes. \nStudents pursuing the AS degree at the Miami Animation & Gaming International Complex would matriculate at MDC for 4 semesters. Upon successful completion of the AS degree at MDC\, MDC graduates would seamlessly enroll at FIU to complete the remaining 4 semesters of the BS in Digital Communication and Media. MDC students who transition to FIU under the terms of the Agreement will be required to complete any remaining General Education requirements at FIU or through approved accelerated credit mechanisms. MDC students must meet FIU’s transfer admission criteria for the catalog year when they first enrolled at MDC. MDC students must successfully complete the Foreign Language Graduation Requirement prior to enrolling at FIU. In addition to meeting FIU’s transfer admission criteria\, students seeking admission to the Lee Caplin School of Journalism & Media\, must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.85. \nFIU will accept major-specific courses completed at MDC to count toward the BS in Digital Communication and Media. Students are allowed no more than 12 credits of lower-division courses to count toward upper-division requirements\, as stipulated by the Accrediting Council in Education in Journalism and Mass Communication\, the Lee Caplin School of Journalism & Media’s accrediting agency. \n\nBoth Animation & Game Art and Game Development & Design transfer maps to FIU are available for review by clicking here: MAGIC + FIU TRANSFER MAPS.
