"(3) For purposes of paragraph (2), the number of full-time equivalents of part-time students for a school of public health for any school year is a number equal to— "(A) the total number of credit hours of instruction in such year for which part-time students of such school, who are pursuing a course of study leading to a graduate degree in public health or an equivalent degree, have enrolled, divided by "(B) the greater of (i) the number of credit hours of instruction which a full-time student of such school was required to take in such year, or (ii) 9, rounded to the next highest whole number. "(b) Notwithstanding subsection (a), if the aggregate of the amounts of the grants to be made in accordance with such subsection for any fiscal year to schools of public health with approved applications exceeds the total of the amounts appropriated for such grants for such schools under subsection (e), the amount of a school's grant for such fiscal year shall be an amount which bears the same ratio to the amount determined for the school under subsection (a) as the total of the amounts appropriated for that year under subsection (e) for grants to schools of public health bears to the amount required to make grants in accordance with subsection (a) to each of the schools of public health with approved applications.

"(2) For purposes of this section, the term 'full-time students' (whether such term is used by itself or in connection with a particular year-class) means students pursuing a full-time course of study leading to a graduate degree in public health or equivalent degree. "(d) In the case of a new school of public health which applies for a grant under this section in the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which it will admit its first class, the enrollment for purposes of subsection (a) shall be the number of full-time students which the Secretary determines, on the basis of assurances provided by the school, will be enrolled in the school, in the fiscal year after the fiscal year in which the grant is made.
