I realize this is somewhat anecdotal, but still...

For MIT EECS (largest dep't on campus; ~700 PhD students) there's no Masters-only people (except MEng students who continue for a 5th year from undergrad). The department only accepts applications to the PhD program and funds its students accordingly. They probably lose money over their international students because none of them qualify for NSF fellowships, etc.
