The study of the infrared properties of star forming regions allows us to probe the nature of the UV obscuring dust and the central ionizing stellar populations. The close proximity of the Magellanic Clouds allows us to probe the nature of these star forming regions at small spatial scales. We present the photometry and results of the first infrared-selected star forming region catalogs of the LMC and SMC using the Spitzer Space Telescope and compare the results to H-alpha selected catalogs in the literature. The sources are selected in 24um via a clump-finding algorithm. An analysis of star forming region infrared spectral energy distributions, luminosity functions, size distributions, and computed star formation rates are explored, with differences between the LMC and SMC highlighted.
