To get an accurate estimate, you should visit the EWU website's financial aid and tuition pages. They usually have cost calculators or detailed breakdowns of tuition and fees for both in-state and out-of-state students. Look for sections on "Tuition and Fees," "Cost of Attendance," or "Financial Aid."
