NHC (National Humanities Center)


Explanation:
National Humanities Center
The National Humanities Center (NHC) is an independent institute for advanced study in the humanities. It is the only major independent institute for advanced study in all fields of the humanities in the United States. The NHC operates as a privately incorporated nonprofit and is not part of any university. The center was planned under the auspices of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, which saw a need for substantial support for academic research in the humanities, and began operations in 1978

neutral  FX Fraipont (X): How could the National Humanities Center, a US institution, be a UK degree?// I suppose you mean "they were UK degrees". Because yes, there are degrees in the UK. - And by the way, if it's guesswork, it's not 4.
