staffed to afford students comprehensive clinical and classroom 
veterinary instruction; or

veterinary students that has been approved by all veterinary licensing 
boards and evaluating bodies whose views are considered relevant by the 
Secretary.
    (2) The school has graduated classes during each of the two twelve-
month periods immediately preceding the date the Secretary receives the 
school's request for an eligibility determination.

are the equivalent of credentials required of faculty members teaching 
the same or similar courses at veterinary schools in the United States.
