                                PART I
 PROSPECTUS
 ----------                 795,300 Shares

                            URS CORPORATION

                             Common Stock

           This Prospectus relates to the possible resale by certain
 Selling Stockholders (as defined below) from time-to-time of 795,300
 shares of the Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Shares"),
 of URS Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), issued
 upon the exercise of Restricted Shares, Stock Units and Options (as
 those terms are defined in the Plan, below) granted under the URS
 Corporation 1991 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Plan").  The
 Shares are listed on the New York and Pacific Stock Exchanges under
 the symbol "URS".

           The holders of Shares that may be resold pursuant to this
 Prospectus are collectively referred to herein as the "Selling
 Stockholders".  If resold, the Shares would be offered for the
 respective accounts of the Selling Stockholders.  Any or all of the
 Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be affiliates of the Company
 at the time such shares are offered or sold by them.  See "Selling
 Stockholders".  The Company anticipates that if and to the extent
 any of the Selling Stockholders elect to resell any of the Shares,
 such Shares would be offered and sold by the Selling Stockholders in
 ordinary market transactions, in sales pursuant to Rule 144 under
 the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or
 otherwise, either at the then current market prices or in private
 transactions at such prices as may be obtainable.  The Selling
 Stockholders might be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning
 of the Securities Act, in which event any discounts, concessions or
 commissions received by them, which are not expected to exceed those
 customary in the types of transactions involved or any profit on
 resales of the Shares by them, may be deemed to be underwriting
 commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.  The Company will
 receive none of the proceeds from any sales of Shares by the Selling
 Stockholders.  
                         --------------------
           Prospective investors should review and consider
            carefully the discussion under "Risk Factors".
                         --------------------
           No underwriter is being utilized in connection with this
 offering.  The costs of registering the Shares under the Securities
 Act were borne by the Company.
                         --------------------
     THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE
       SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR HAS THE COMMISSION
       PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS.
       ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

             The Date of this Prospectus is March 31, 1995

                              THE COMPANY

           The Company is a Delaware corporation originally
 incorporated in 1957.  From November 1987 until February 21, 1990,
 the Company was known as "Thortec International, Inc."  Its
 principal offices are located at 100 California Street, Suite 500,
 San Francisco, California 94111-4529 and its telephone number is
 (415) 774-2700.

           The Company offers a broad range of planning, design and
 program and construction management services to the engineering and
 architectural services industry.  The Company serves public and
 private sector clients nationwide in two principal markets:
 infrastructure projects involving transportation systems,
 institutional and commercial facilities and water resources, and
 environmental projects involving hazardous waste management and
 pollution control.


                             RISK FACTORS

           In addition to the other information in this Prospectus,
 the following factors should be considered carefully by prospective
 investors in evaluating the Company and its business before making
 an investment.

 Dependence Upon Government Programs and Contracts
 -------------------------------------------------
           The Company derives a substantial portion of its revenues
 from local, state and Federal government agencies.  The demand for
 the Company's services is directly related to the level of funding
 of government programs that are created in response to public
 concern with rebuilding and expanding the nation's infrastructure
 and addressing various environmental problems.  The Company believes

                                  I-3

                          Page 5 of 18                   <PAGE>  


 that the success and further development of its business is
 dependent, in significant part, upon the continued existence and
 funding of such programs and upon the Company's ability to
 participate in such programs.  There can be no assurance that public
 pressure for such programs will continue, that governments will have
 the available resources to fund such programs (especially in light
 of the severe budget constraints currently existing at all levels of
 government), that such programs will continue to be funded even if
 governments have available financial resources or that the Company
 will continue to be awarded contracts under such programs.  In
 addition, some of these government contracts are subject to renewal
 or extension annually, so continued work by the Company under these
 contracts in future periods is not assured.  Finally, government
 contracts are subject to termination for the convenience of the
 governmental agency and contracts with government agencies that have
 adopted Federal Acquisition Regulations are subject to audit of
 actual costs incurred and provide for upward or downward adjustment
 of payments if audited costs differ from billed costs.  

 Pricing Risks
 -------------
           The Company's services are billed on either a "cost-plus"
 or a "fixed-price" basis.  Under cost-plus contracts, the rates for
 the Company's direct and indirect costs are negotiated and fixed
 before work commences.  Under fixed-price contracts, the entire
 contract price is fixed before work commences.  Frequently, the
 Company submits proposals on extremely complex projects that will be
 performed over the course of several years, making the accurate
 forecasting of costs very difficult.  In the past, the Company
 experienced low profit margins or losses on a significant portion of
 both its cost-plus and fixed-price contracts because overhead and
 general and administrative costs were excessive and could not be
 factored into contract proposals.  The Company has reduced its
 overhead and general and administrative costs.  However, to the
 extent the Company does not control overhead, general and
 administrative and other costs or underestimates such costs, the
 Company may have low profit margins or may incur losses.

 Environmental and Professional Liability Exposure;
 Adequacy of Insurance Coverage
 --------------------------------------------------
           A significant part of the Company's business involves the
 planning, design and program and construction management of a wide
 variety of complex projects.  If problems develop with these
 projects, either while under construction or after they have been
 completed, claims may be made against the Company alleging breach of
 contract or negligence in the performance of its professional
 services.  In addition, the Company's professional services involve
 the planning, design and program and construction management of
 waste management and pollution control facilities.  Federal laws,
 such as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 ("RCRA")
 and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
 Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA"), and various state and local laws,
 strictly regulate the handling, removal, treatment and transporta-

                                  I-4

                        Page 6 of 18                  <PAGE>  


 tion of toxic and hazardous substances and impose liability for
 environmental contamination caused by such substances.  Moreover,
 so-called "toxic tort" litigation has increased markedly in recent
 years as those injured by hazardous substances seek recovery for
 personal injuries or property damage under common law theories. 
 While the Company does not directly handle, remove, treat or
 transport toxic or hazardous substances, some of the Company's
 contracts require the Company to design systems for those functions
 or to subcontract for or supervise such work.  As a consequence, the
 Company may be exposed to claims for damages caused by environmental
 contamination arising from projects on which the Company has worked. 
 The Company currently maintains an insurance program which provides,
 subject to certain self-insured retentions, primary and excess
 professional liability errors and omissions ("E&O") coverage with
 environmental impairment liability coverage and contractor pollution
 liability coverage, and both primary and excess comprehensive 
 general liability insurance coverage, all up to specified coverage 
 limits and with a variety of standard exclusions.   While the Company 
 believes that its insurance program currently is adequate, there can 
 be no assurance that the Company can maintain its existing insurance 
 coverage, that insurance coverage will be available under the 
 Company's existing or previous insurance programs with respect to 
 claims made against the Company or that claims will not exceed the 
 amount of any insurance coverage which is available.

 Attraction and Retention of Qualified Professionals
 ---------------------------------------------------
           The Company's ability to retain and expand its staff of
 qualified technical professionals will be an important factor in
 determining the Company's future success.  There is from time-to-
 time a shortage of qualified technical professionals in various
 fields.  The market for engineering and environmental professionals
 is competitive and there can be no assurance that the Company will
 continue to be successful in its efforts to attract and retain such
 professionals.  In addition, the Company relies heavily upon the
 experience and ability of its senior executive staff and the loss of
 a significant portion of such individuals could have a material
 adverse effect on the Company.  

 Control by Principal Stockholders
 ---------------------------------
           As of the date of this Prospectus, Richard C. Blum &
 Associates, Inc. ("RCBA, Inc."), in its capacity as the sole general
 partner of Richard C. Blum & Associates, L.P. ("RCBA, L.P."),
 indirectly through several entities, has voting and dispositive
 control with respect to an aggregate of 1,627,802 shares of Common
 Stock, or 23% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (32% of the
 outstanding shares of Common Stock, assuming exercise of the
 warrants to purchase an aggregate of 922,391 shares of Common Stock
 held by the entities managed or advised by RCBA, L.P.).  Richard C.
 Blum, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, is the
 majority shareholder of RCBA, Inc. and directly owns 9,841 shares of
 Common Stock and holds options to purchase 9,000 shares of Common

                                  I-5

                         Page 7 of 18                     <PAGE>  


 Stock, of which options to purchase 8,000 shares of Common Stock are
 currently exercisable.

 Volatility; Market for the Shares
 ---------------------------------
           The Shares are listed for trading in the NYSE and the PSE. 
 The Shares have been thinly traded, which may have caused fluctua-
 tions in the market price of the Shares.  Fluctuations in quarterly
 financial results and general economic conditions such as recessions
 or high interest rates may also cause the market price of the Shares
 to fluctuate.

 Competition
 -----------
           The architectural and engineering services industry is
 highly fragmented and very competitive.  As a result, in each
 specific market area, the Company competes with many engineering and
 consulting firms, several of which are substantially larger than the
 Company and which possess greater financial resources.  Competition
 is based upon reputation, quality of service, price, expertise and
 local presence.


                            USE OF PROCEEDS

           If any of the Shares are resold by the Selling
 Stockholders, the Company would receive no proceeds from any such
 sale.  The Shares would be offered for the respective accounts of
 the Selling Stockholders.

                                PART II

          INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

 Item 3.   INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE

           The following documents are incorporated by reference in
 this Registration Statement:

           (a)  The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
 ended October 31, 1994;

           (b)  All other reports filed by the Company pursuant to
 Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
 amended (the "Exchange Act"), since October 31, 1994; and

           (c)  The description of the Company's Common Shares
 contained in a registration statement filed under the Exchange Act,
 including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating
 such description.

           All documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant
 to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act shall be
 deemed to be incorporated by referenced herein and to be a part
 hereof from the date of filing (except that no document shall be
 deemed to be incorporated by reference if filed after the filing of
 a post-effective amendment which deregisters securities then
 remaining unsold).

 Item 4.   DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

           Not applicable.

 Item 5.   INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

           Not applicable.

 Item 6.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

           The Company's Certificate of Incorporation contains a
 provision, permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General
 Corporation Law (the "Delaware Law"), eliminating the personal
 liability of a director to the Company or its stockholders for
 monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director,
 except for liability (i) for breach of the director's duty of
 loyalty, (ii) under Section 174 of the Delaware Law (concerning the
 illegal payment of dividends by a corporation), (iii) for acts or
 omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct
 or a knowing violation of law or (iv) for any transaction from which
 the director derived an improper personal benefit.

           Section 145 of the Delaware Law permits, subject to
 certain conditions, the indemnification of directors or officers of
 a Delaware corporation for expenses (including attorney's fees),

                           Page 12 of 18              <PAGE>  


 judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred in
 connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding in
 relation to certain matters against them as such directors or
 officers.  Article VI of the Company's By-laws generally provides
 that the Company shall indemnify its officers and directors in
 accordance with the provisions of Section 145.

           A third-party insurance carrier has agreed to reimburse
 the Company for losses resulting from certain liabilities for
 wrongful acts or matters claimed against officers or directors by
 reason of their status as such, including liabilities that may arise
 in connection with certain sales of securities by the Company.

 Item 9.   UNDERTAKINGS

           (a)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

                (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or
 sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
 registration statement:

                     (i)  To include any prospectus required by
           Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (unless the
           information required to be included in a post-effective
           amendment by this paragraph is contained in periodic
           reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
           Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that
           are incorporated by reference in this registration
           statement);

                    (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
           events arising after the effective date of the

                                 II-2

                             Page 13 of 18                <PAGE>  


           registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
           amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
           aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
           information set forth in the registration statement
           (unless the information required to be included in a
           post-effective amendment by this paragraph is contained in
           periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to
           Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
           of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this
           registration statement);

                   (iii)  To include any material information with
           respect to the plan of distribution not previously
           disclosed in the registration statement or any material
           change to such information in the registration statement.

                (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any
 liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
 amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
 relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
 securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
 offering thereof.

                (3)  To remove from registration by means of a
 post-effective amendment and of the securities being registered
 which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

           (b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that,
 for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
 of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
 Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement
 shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
 securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
 that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
 thereof.

           (h)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
 under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
 officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
 foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised
 that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
 indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
 is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
 indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
 the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
 or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of
 any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
 officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
 being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
 counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit
 to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such 
 indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
