Since they are both NJ state schools i don't think there should be any problems?

You didn't answer my question. Are you wanting to transfer an associate degree from TESC into Rutgers? Or, are you asking if you can gain admission to a grad program at Rutgers with an undergraduate degree from TESC?

Transfer course policy vs transfer degree articulation is not the same thing, and your question asked about "transfer degree" which has me confused. Maybe you could provide just a bit more info and I'm happy to help you, I just don't understand your question/situation.

I'm just wondering if i can obtain a A.S. in Arts or Business Administration through TESC and then transfer that degree into Rutgers and finish a BA through them?

From Rutgers's website:
"A general rule of thumb: credit is given for courses taken at accredited colleges and universities, as long as you’ve earned a C or better and the course is equivalent to one offered at Rutgers."

Due to the equivalency requirements, I'd say there would be no problem transferring in conventional credits like classes from regionally-accredited colleges, TECEP exams, and the CLEP/Dantes/AP exams. I suspect you'd run into problems if you used a lot of FEMA credits to fill in the free electives, as it seems unlikely that Rutgers would offer any similar courses. (it's possible, though, Rutgers offers a whole heck of a lot of classes)

As for getting into a Rutgers grad program, why not? Earn good grades, write a polished admissions essay, sweet-talk instructors and bosses into writing praise-filled letters of recommendation, and rock the GRE (or GMAT, or LSAT) - that's the part you need to worry about. (yeah, that's all!) A TESC degree is regionally-accredited, no worries there.
