Have you seen the GE page for students?
http://www.ge.com/en/company/companyinfo/studentportal/student.htm
This will give you a history, fact sheet, news releases, SEC filings and the all-important Annual Report, that usually unveils the vision of the company.
Also check out the Investor Communications section for tidbits:

GE is a wonderfully diversified company with about 13 divisions. If one division falters, the others are there to carry the load. Try Yahoo Finance and type in GE as the stock symbol or go to the GE site via Google.

This is a stock I have a holding in. The reason I decided to buy were : that General Industrials were out of fashion with the stock market, the huge diversification within a company of this size and that my Business Professor Richard Weaver had been an advisor to the management of this company. I liked the entrepreneurial approach he taught me and thought that the company had learnt the necessary entrepreneurial approach that would mean that the stock market performance would follow sound business performance.

Large established companies are not great choices to invest in as their market value does not fluctuate due to their high stability. Instead, i suggest you focus more on up and coming companies and sectors. The value of these stocks will change dramatically over time and thus giving you a "criteria that supports why the stock would be a great choice". Personally i suggest Coinstar and Aerosonic these companies had extremely high growths in the past year. with aersonic as high as 800%!

GE has money invested in almost every type of industry is almost every country in the world. They own NBC, they make everything from light bulbs to jet engines to nuclear reactors. It is a safe long term investment. GE is an established, high profit, global corporation.
That should get you started.

GE has a reputation for making a deal with the devil -- often choosing profits over people.
