syntax problems in If statement using in_category

Having some trouble with a loop. Currently starting a bunch of loop conditionals for the loop file. This is the first and only loop so far and I’m having syntax issues. The basic loop works fine. Please help.

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post() ; ?>
<?php if  (in_category ('programs')) {
	<h1 class="section">echo 'Classes'; </h1>
}
 else  {
	<h1 class="section">  echo get_the_title( $post->post_parent ); </h1>
}
 endif;
	<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><h1 style="font-weight:bold"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>  </a>
?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
