I think it varies. I know traditionally, with science, most students go straight from an undergrad degree to phd. They typically only award a masters if the student is unable to complete the phd. I have seen some programs where it is worded that a phd requires 60 credits with 30 allowed from a masters and i've seen some that just say 30.
