Maybe it's just me... but wouldn't using college specifically to learn about poker-related topics be a really expensive and time-consuming way of becoming a better poker player?
I think you'll find most of the players who are college-educated math wizards and whatever actually did things the other way around: they got degrees in math because they like math - then along the way they discovered poker was an entertaining way to put their knowledge into practice.
As for psychology, I've known a lot of psychology students and you'd likely find that ery little of any psych course will be able to be applied directly to poker - developmental psychology, neuropsychology... all fascinating stuff, but fairly useless at the poker table.
On the other hand, there's loads of books out there that talk specifically about the math and psychology of poker - if it were me, I'd pick a college course that I enjoyed, regardless of its relation to poker, and buy some books to help me become a better player. And then get a whole lot of practice in.
