I obviously can't speak for every university, but the large majority (and I should add in the U.S. and only some sister universities I've checked out the abroad programs in) mention Freud in two classes (intro and development) and Maslow in two classes (intro and development) (development is split into three or four courses usually). And in every class not more than two weeks is spent on either, often less than a day for Maslow. Freud is popular in special topics courses for upperclass majors, but not in the core curriculum; you would be very hard pressed to find a course on Maslow, or even the humanists as a whole. Skinner and Piaget, on the other hand, are extensively covered for the reasons mentioned before: there is a movement in psychology (and has been for a couple decades now) to prove everything by scientific means; and Skinner and Piaget were much more scientific and reliable than Freud and Maslow. I know this because I became attached to my universities psychology department my first two semesters, thinking I would want to pursue it, and this is some knowledge that was passed on to me.

Again though, I'm not saying Freud isn't incredibly influential in literature and other arts, but in the realm of psychology and science he is largely disregarded; he has become an infamous example of rampant conjecture (though interesting) in psychology that the field is trying to separate itself from but can't, because everyone thinks he's the greatest since he's the only one they can remember.

I think I prefer the methodology used by the professors who authored the Review of General Psychology study, The 100 Most Eminent Psychologists of the 20th Century. Sorry.
