Again they only offer the discount to those who are affiliated with an SBC church and plan on working in an SBC church. It is not because you sign off on the BF&M.

That is not what it says. You do not, presently, have to be affiliated with a SBC. You do have to become a member of a church, just like you do at every other seminary in the world.
Students from a different denominational background may qualify to receive the Southern Baptist rate for tuition when they affiliate with a SBC church and affirm a call to service within the SBC. The student must commit to and abide by the Covenant Agreement for Southern Baptist Tuition Rates.

Wow! That would make PRTS an even more attractive deal than now. Reasonable tuition, great scholarship, experiemental Calvinism and fully accredited. Wow!
Degree seeking students are allowed to complete 50% of their course work via our distance learning program.
Sorry brother but it's not as easy as you make it sound. Yes you do have to be affiliated with a church just like any other seminary however to get the discount you have to be willing to serve in the SBC AFTER you graduate.Again they only offer the discount to those who are affiliated with an SBC church and plan on working in an SBC church.

There are two ways that students may receive the SBC Tuition Rate:
Entitlement (Prior Church Affiliation): If the original Church Membership Affirmation form comes from an SBC church and indicates active membership for a minimum of one year, that student will automatically qualify for the SBC tuition discount as outlined by SBTS.
Conviction: Students from a different denominational background may qualify to receive the Southern Baptist rate for tuition when they affiliate with a SBC church and affirm a call to service within the SBC. The student must commit to and abide by the Covenant Agreement for Southern Baptist Tuition Rates. The stipulations of this agreement are:
The student must affirm a commitment to pursue ongoing service within the SBC after graduation from Boyce College or Southern Seminary by signing the Covenant Agreement.
Incoming students signing the Covenant Agreement have one semester to become an active member in a local Southern Baptist church. Continuing students must be active members at a local Southern Baptist church before signing the Covenant Agreement.
The student’s former pastor must sign the Covenant Agreement, affirming that the student has discussed the commitment to align with the SBC.
The student’s current local pastor must sign the Church Membership Affirmation form to verify good standing (a complementary form to the Covenant Agreement).

Indeed, especially because of this from the PRTS website:

Will PRTS change their 50% distance learning requirement once they are ATS accredited? I was under the impression that ATS only allowed 30 hrs as distance learning. I could be wrong on this.
The church may have claimed it; it is possible that you may have seen it claimed. But that does not make it true.I would tend to agree with you: however, I have seen, with my own eyes, a church which called it self Presbyterian, and upheld that tradition, with the singular exception of holding to CredoBaptism. It was in Houston: don't know if it is still open. It has been a year since I saw it. I assumed, since the Bethel website indicated they used to at least call themselves "Presbyterian", that they were perhaps the church I had seen. I guess I was wrong.

I can claim to be Mohandas Ghandi. I can also claim to be a tomato. That doesn't make it so.
Which is pretty much what I said in my original post, when I said the idea was "inherently contradictory."The church may have claimed it; it is possible that you may have seen it claimed.

Off topic here; but the Free Presbyterian Church on Page #2 of its Book of Order says that it embraces both those who adhere to Paedobaptism and Credo Baptism.
