BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) - Virginia Tech is reporting record enrollment in its Graduate School.

Virginia Tech said Friday that a total 6,947 graduate students are currently enrolled, including 4,114 master's students and 2,833 doctoral students. It's the university's largest graduate class.

Graduate students now make up 22.5 percent of the university's total student population.
