After Delay, Jack Welch Online MBA to Launch

The Jack Welch Management Institute, an online business school backed by the former GE CEO, will launch classes on Jan. 4, after a semester-long delay caused by Mr. Welch’s 14-week hospitalization for a staph infection.

The online MBA Program, which will be affiliated with Chancellor University in Cleveland, also plans to announce later today that it will name Steve Kerr as executive director. Mr. Kerr previously led GE’s Leadership Development Center in Crotonville, N.Y., the executive education program at Goldman Sachs and had academic posts at Ohio State University, the University of Michigan and the University of Southern California.
