Does anyone know of any colleges or universitys in the U.S. that offer courses specifically in Socio-Economics (not individual Sociology or Economic courses)?

Nope, doesn't exist. There are some universities that lets you create a custom major; though I don't really understand why anyone would want to study bourgeois economics (as it cannot even explain capitalism, much less any other system).

I'd go with sociology or political science ;)

Yeah, I know of some schools like that, and they are incidentally some of the ones that I am looking at. I originally was planning on majoring in Poli. Sci. though a course in Socio-Economics sounds interesting because it would be all about the relationship between social problems and economic problems/events.

One of my teachers last year was a Marxist. He was a "history major with a concentration in class conflict" when he went to college.

He went to Rice University, which is in downtown Houston.

A socioeconomics course would apply the methods of bourgeois economics to sociology; that's from my understanding (it turns out there was one here a while back in Davis).
