Tmaxx,
As an alumni of CWU I would say it was a great place for flight training. I have no idea how much the cost are these days, but I would like to think it would be cheaper to stay in state.
As for CWU you should be able to find the cost of the 4 year degree on their website and then add the flight training on top off that. Back in "my day" all the training was done in ELN at Midstate Aviation. I'm sure they have a website with all the costs...start selling body parts on eBay
I have friends that went to Moses lake, Big Bend C.C., for two years (got all their flight training completed there) and then transferred to CWU to finish out their four year degree.
I think BBCC is cheaper on the flight training costs and the flight training credit hours are part of your academic quarter. Meaning that if you're taking 16 credit load part of that (maybe 4 credits) is your flying. At CWU all your flying is extra from your "credit hours".
BBCC (back in my day) flying was scheduled, you would fly Tues and Thurs or other days. At CWU, since Midstate Aviation is an FBO, its up to you when to schedule your flights...including weekends. I certainly don't want you to think that means CWU is "faster", but it might be a better option if you like flying on weekends or trying to schedule around a part time job or classes.
Hope this helps. Like I said this was how it was in my day, 18 years ago, but at least it'll give you some ideas and questions for the folks at those schools. Good luck
