Sure, there are indeed a number of innovative university in U.S that have developed unique programs over recent years to cater to emerging fields and industries. Here are a few examples:

1. Data Science and Artificial Intelligence: Universities are increasingly offering these programs to keep up with the demand in the tech industry. For example, UC Berkeley has a Bachelor of Arts in Data Science, recognizing the broad impact of data across different sectors.

2. Climate and Sustainability Studies: Universities like Cornell University and the University of Michigan offer programs that combine the law, economics, and science behind the pressing issue of climate change.

3. Digital Humanities: Schools like Stanford University have introduced Digital Humanities programs that utilize digital tools to explore humanities subjects. They combine coding and software development with traditional humanities disciplines.

4. Neuroscience programs are gaining traction in many universities. A great example is Johns Hopkins University which offers an undergraduate neuroscience major where students can learn about the structure and function of the nervous system.

5. Cybersecurity is another field that is increasingly being offered in universities as technology becomes more embedded in our lives. For example, Purdue University has a Cybersecurity program that equips students with skills to protect online data.

When choosing, make sure the program aligns with your career goals and interests. And remember, while the program name might sound exciting, dig into the course descriptions, faculty, job placement rates, and opportunities for internships or co-ops to get a better sense of whether it's the right fit for you.
