This article will discuss the relevance of IC-FLCs within the IC community. It will begin with a
brief overview of IC-FLCs and some of their common characteristics before outlining some steps
IC schools and programs would have to take to become IC-FLCs. Next this paper will outline
some possible benefits of IC-FLCs for the IC field along with some questions and concerns.
Finally, some tentative conclusions will be drawn as to what IC-FLCs have to offer the IC
