I did a little research for you and found that the Hospital of university of Philadelphia offers a certificate program, but not a degree program. The community college of Philadelphia offers an Associates Degree. While the pay is the same regardless, if the cost difference is minimal, its nice to have a degree.
If you have any plans of obtaining a B.S. in the future, it is nice to have some pre-reqs that will transfer, in the future.
Something to consider…
Check out the website of JRCERT. It lists every accredited program and you can search by city, state, etc.

Are they both 2 year programs? Will either or both of them earn (at least) an Associate degree?
Compare them apples to apples.
Length of program. Cost. Accreditation (you did already make sure they’re both accredited, right?) Degree. Registry pass/fail rate (if it isn’t posted on their website, they should be willing to tell you - if they’re not willing to tell you? Ask yourself why not).
And although you’ll hear different opinions on this forum, 30 years of experience reminds me that employers don’t care where you went to school. They care that passed the ARRT exam and are nationally certified.

Hello!
Recently, I have been accepted to participate in a Radiographer program at HUP in Philadelphia (hospital of University of Pennsylvania) and also at my local community college.
My question is, and I think I may have answered it by just typing this.. but which program do you think would be best?
I know they both follow the same program and have the same accredation agencies, but I still, for some strange reason, have not chosen one or the other.
Is one better than the other? or will one look better on a CV?
Help, Please!

Hi!
If you are close to Philadelphia, there are two programs that I know of.
Jefferson School Of Medicine offers a program as well as HUP (Hospital, University of Pennslyvania)
Both programs have details online.
Good luck!

To Whom It May Concern:
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as a possible radiologic technologist candidate. My name is Daria Donnelly, I am a 30 year old Florida native, and have lived in Boca Raton for 16 years now. I was born and raised in Ft. Lauderdale, I attended Palm Beach Community College where I graduated with an Associates Degree. Currently, during and after college I worked at numerous restaurants as a bartender, which enabled me to deal easily with the public. After returning in 2007 to Boca from Rome Italy, I began the Radiologic Technology Program at West Boca Medical Center for two years.
Now I have recently graduated from the program and passed my ARRT boards. Although I currently live in Boca Raton, I would be happy to relocate. I have 2 years clinical training with general x-ray, completed an MRS certificate course, and the required 25 supervised mammograms to be able to work in mammography. I would like to know a little more about your company, how you relocate employees, compensation, housing, etc. I would also like to send you my CV if possible. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Daria Donnelly
