PAU’s MS in Psychology offers Technology and Mental Health this Fall
Starting this fall, PAU’s Master of Science in Psychology program will offer a Technology and Mental Health Concentration. This concentration will explore the impact technology has on mental health, which digital tools contribute to mental health interventions, and how to develop these digital tools.
“I’m really excited about this new concentration,” says Eduardo Bunge, PhD, PAU professor and director of the concentration. “Due to the pandemic, tech and mental health has become a highly relevant topic and this program will help students succeed in this growing field.”
