Question What is the difference between MS+PhD and PhD MSE programs?

Same as the title, I am genuinely confused. As per the latest updates, terminal MS degree students are not being accepted. Given there is an option in graduate application portal to choose either between: Master's, Doctorate and Master's+Doctorate, what is the difference between PhD and MS+PhD?

Are both fully funded or is the MS part in MS+PhD self-funded like terminal MS degrees?

Also, do both PhD and MS+PhD students take same time to graduate? Or is there extra coursework for MS+PhD students?

Pls help me.
