The Williams-Exeter Program at Oxford, abbreviated as WEPO, is a collaborative academic program of Williams College in the United States and Exeter College, one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford. Through the program, 26 undergraduate students of Williams College spend their junior year as full members of Exeter College. It was founded in 1985 following Williams College’s acquisition of four buildings in Summertown, Oxford, which now house the program as Ephraim Williams House.

All coursework in the program is through the intensive Oxbridge tutorial system, which Williams College also partially emulates in its curriculum on campus in Williamstown, Massachusetts.[1][2]

The Director of the Williams-Exeter Programme at Oxford serves a two-year term in residence at Ephraim Williams House as both Williams College faculty and Supernumerary Fellow of Exeter College.[3][4]

Since 2017, a small group of Exeter College students have visited Williams College each January to participate in its Winter Study programming.[5]
