Does anyone know of a good program or app you can use for mind mapping (concept mapping) for studying? I was thinking about just using OneNote, but I feel that would be too slow and cumbersome to be time effective.

It may be a bit cumbersome, but Prezi has some good concept mapping materials through their slide presentation. Idk if that helps but you can maybe give it some time.
 
I want to try to keep the maps on my computer rather than pencil and paper.

Here is one that I have not used in a while. Everything is on computer. You just need to register and you should be able to access it for free. You can make your maps as big as you like.

You could always do pencil and paper and then scan to PDF. This is what has worked easiest for me in the past with various things.

VUE is pretty nice. Although I did some searching and found XMind. VUE to me seems like it would take a while to learn and has more custom options. XMind is also free (no ipad app unfortunately) but I feel has a much easier interface to use. The drawback with Xmind is that it places in nodes in set places once you add them so not as custom as VUE.
 
OneNote works great for this if you have both a touch interface and keyboard.
