I already have a master’s degree, so can I apply classes from my M.S. toward the Ph.D?

DMSE - Prospective Graduate Students - Admissions FAQs
MIT has a qualifying procedure for the doctoral degree, so, even though you have already earned a master of science degree at another institution, if you receive admission here, you would be admitted as a master of science degree student with the option to bypass the master's degree and go directly into the doctoral program provided that you successfully pass the qualification procedure. The rules for exercising the by-pass option are that the student must take subjects 3.20, 3.21, 3.22, and 3.
