At UIUC for ECE, there are 64 credits of coursework required for the PhD. If you have an MS, they waive 32. Period. You don’t have to have 32 credits in your MS and they just have be in a related department, the MS does NOT need to be in the same research area.

MIT ECE doesn’t care what you did before you arrive, they have a curriculum and you follow it. Already have an MS? Good for you, now take the courses anyway.

The point is just that it varies by department.
