Level building is one of the only areas of game development where a specialized college degree can actually really help.  Digipen, Full Sail, and the Art Institutes tend to have good reputations within the game industry when it comes to level building.  You can also go to a regular four year college that offers a degree in computer/3D art and animation.

Whatever you choose, if at all possible go to school near a city with a lot of game studios, like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Austin, Seattle, etc.  Most game companies will not pay for relocation for an entry level job, and some won't even interview you if you don't live in the area, so it'll be a lot easier to find a job after college if you already live near several studios.  There's a map here: http://gamedevmap.com/ that lists every game studio by city.  Try to find a college in a city with at least 10 game companies.

Like artists, level builders are usually hired on the strength of their portfolio, so make sure that is top-notch.  In addition to your school work, you should be making levels and mods on your own, with tools like the Unreal Engine and the editors for games like Neverwinter Nights and Warcraft.  Level modding communities are everywhere online, so submit your mod levels to places that will review your work, and take the comments of the community to heart.  Put both your original and your mod levels in your portfolio once you start looking for work.
