CS grad school suggestions (masters, then PhD)

[pterosaur]

Trying to help my brother get the ball rolling for grad school, since he doesn't know where to start and doesn't use these forums.

 

He graduated a few years ago with a CS degree and a 3.0 GPA. He's spent the past couple years working in industry but misses the intellectual side of CS. He wants to go back to grad school and eventually get a PhD. With his GPA and no undergrad research experience, he realizes that a master's (thesis-based) is a necessary stepping stone. He's interested in artificial intelligence. What would be some good schools with those background, interests, and goals?
