For a long time, Oberlin’s composition department was considered Eurocentric and more focused on “new music” than many other conservatories. Hartke is now head of composition so it is worthwhile checking into what the prevailing aesthetic is, if there is one. Often for undergrad the best scenario for composition is a diverse aesthetic resulting in equally diverse student works. I will say that Oberlin grads do very well with getting into grad schools and the few I know went directly to PhD program.
