计算生物学证书将计算机科学和生物学的课程工作结合在一起，为学生提供正式的学习计划，以通过分析高通量生物学提供的数据来解决生物学系统的工作原理。学生将获得与生物学相结合的计算机基本技能（即了解生物体的结构，功能，动力学和进化的应用技术），并将在新兴技术领域中争夺高端职位。定义明确的计划将使学生认识到他们在该领域的培训，并将使来自不同学科的学生能够一起学习。该计划将由计算机科学与工程部门，计算机安全研究中心和工程学院院长管理。该证书由Bagley工程学院和农业与生命科学学院颁发。
The IGBB is pleased to be a supporter of MS State's Computational Biology Certificate Program. This program allows undergraduate and graduate students in the computational and life sciences to pursue a well-defined program where they gain fundamental skills in computing and biology so that they will be competitive for high-end employment in emerging technical fields. Students learn how to apply computational techniques to understand structures, functions, dynamics, and evolution of living organisms. The certificate program is ideal for students working towards (or possessing) a B.S. or M.S. degree in computer science, computer engineering, mathematics, statistics, biological engineering, or one of the life sciences. A computational biology certificate will be issued jointly by the Bagley College of Engineering and the College of Agriculture & Life Sciences upon a candidate's successful completion of the requirements of the program. Completion of the certificate program will be indicated on the student’s transcript. This program requires that the student complete a total of five courses that have been approved by the Computational Biology Advisory Board.
