Vanderbilt (econ) vs. Villanova (finance)

I know that overall Vanderbilt is a better school. However, Villanova's business program is well regarded. Which will look better for graduate business schools / potential employers? Which would be better for internships?

I would probably major in economics and minor in managerial studies - financial economics at Vanderbilt. At Villanova, I would probably double major in finance and international business.

Almost all employers know the international business co-major is a crock, btw. I would say the econ/managerial, the scope of it is extremely broad and you're not limited at all in terms of future employment. Both are fairly well regarded programs for internships and grad school, but I'd go for the versatility here.

Well, international business is something I actually want to go into.

I kind of agree that the versatility is nice.
