Degrees can't be created by an individual employee at a college - even the board itself. I worked on a team that created 2 degrees, it's a long and arduous process that is full of checks and balances - all of which must meet or exceed the accreditation criteria.
BUT, some colleges, like COSC's Individualized Study have planned for flexibility and have created a degree that can be customized (to a point that has already been defined). So, for sure check out COSC.
My main point is that IF a college is approved to offer ANY degree, it will be listed in their regular list of available programs. So, your best bet is to simply browse those lists. I wish you the best finding what you're looking for.
PS there are degrees in some really crazy things- if you share what you're looking for, someone might have a lead for you. I don't think anyone will simply browse 20,000 websites - but collectively, you'll get a lot of insight here that can help you.
