Psychology is there. It contributes to the program in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Studies. The word 'psychology' is not used in any of the course titles/description I could find at the undergraduate level. Instead, titles emphasizing functions/behaviors are found: vision, linguistic, cognition, audition, and so on....
I could be wrong but it has always seemed to me that MIT, while offering undergraduate programs, emphasizes, instead, graduate programs and research. Finally, a quick perusal of the list of faculty members presents strong evidence of the presence of "psychology" at MIT.
