We present the first detailed imaging polarization observations of six SMC and six LMC clusters, known to have large populations of B-type stars that exhibit excess H{alpha} emission from 2-CD photometric studies, to constrain the evolutionary status of these stars and hence better establish links between the onset of disk formation in classical Be stars and cluster age and/or metallicity. We parameterize and remove the interstellar polarization (ISP) associated with each line of sight, thereby isolating the presence of any intrinsic polarization. We use the wavelength dependence of this intrinsic polarization to discriminate pure gas disk systems, i.e., classical Be stars, from composite gas-plus-dust disk systems, i.e., Herbig Ae/Be or B[e] stars.
