<p>Only if they apply through the ‘normal’ external application process. If you get into the EECS graduate program as part of a ‘second’ master’s degree program via internal transfer, you are not considered for the PhD program. Trust me, I know. </p>
<p>For example, take the LFM students (the Sloan MBA + Master of Science engineering students). If those LFM students choose EECS as their engineering option, they’re just allowed to get the master’s in EECS. They are not allowed to automatically continue onto the PhD in EECS after they finish LFM. If they want that, they have to apply as normal.</p>
